is the loss of gas because its too cold in the shed as before it went in there, it wasnt leaking and was holding pressure?

I am having the same problem at the mo...I initially thought it may be a leaking cap/valve then I came across your post.

Can anyone shed any light on the above problem...I am quickly running out of CO2 bulbs :)
Can the cold weather affect pressure?

Cheers

Would be good you get thoughts on this. I too had a beer I kegged in October November time. Pressure was good for a bit, but then started dropping. About same time as went cold. So, I would guess it is the cold? How come though?
 
i finished off the last of the keg last night, after having the problems being stored in the shed and keep needing all the co2 put in. i brought it inside where it is around 20c and around 2/3 in the afternoon put it outside on the slabs and carefully put inside at night before drinking and was good temp wise and didnt need any co2 putting in at all down to being at the bottom of the tap. if anything there was too much pressure as got a lot of foam coming out.
