Used to be a member on these forums a few years back but took a break from brewing for a while and resurrected my old kit a few days ago. Here's my problem.
Brought a 6 tap gas management board a number of years from Norm. Haven't used it in a while. Connected it up yesterady to force carb some beer and noticed the first dial that reads Carbonation will steadily rise until it hits something stupid like 100psi and then will just sit there. I can set the other dials to whatever I want with no issue and the dial will not rise. Is this normal or any ideas?
I've taken the reg apart that controls the gas in on the board and checked for debris but there's nothing there.
If I purge a little gas from the corny it will fill and like normal and the pressure will come down on the first dial and then slowly start to rise again. I currently only have 1 keg attached and this is to one of the syrup valves.

Also, what are you using to try and adjust the pressure for the first outlet?
Re: Pepsi/Cola Gas Management Board
The carbonation gauge/outlet pressure should be set via the primary regulator which should be to the right of it.
The other outlets you can set independently but pressure can only go up to the primary regulator setting.

Re: Pepsi/Cola Gas Management Board
Just one other thing when using these boards, make sure that the JG outlets are NOT stressed in any way. These boards are quite old now & will leak if you place any sideways pressure on the outlet gas hoses, its very easy to do especially if you have a kegerator full of kegs.
If you have some blanking JG pieces you can also test the board for holding pressure.
As Dads_Ale has mentioned set the far right gauge to the MAXIMUM pressure you want across the board. Then dial in the gauges to either the maximum or a lower pressure.

If you need something a little more visual, although she does appear to have a faulty usage on her primary regulator (this doesn’t affect what the output gauges for the kegs show though).
