I purchased this portable ball lock injector system from Williams Homebrewing recently.
Last night was my first time trying to use it. I followed directions and put the ball lock connecter on first. Then preped the cartridge in the grey handle, and then attached to the connector.
Seems like all the gas immediately went out of the keg (was at 20 psi) and any further attempt to re-pressurize with the little co2 bottles, just created a slow leak out the top of the ball-lock connector.
Any ideas? Was I supposed to vent the keg CO2 pressure first? Is there some sort of seal inside the ball lock connector that I blew out?
Fortunately, I was just down the street from my house, and grabbed my 5# CO2 tank and used that for the evening. However, it would be handy to figure out this little portable one..
Thanks!
