The PSI are in the thousands... isn't that too high? If you want something small I've seen DIY using these: http://www.lowes.com/pd_82384-61735-J-6901-101_0__?productId=3113951&Ntt=co2&pl=1&currentURL=%2Fpl__0__s%3FNtt%3Dco2 Here is a cheaper version...

Hmm... I've bottled and tapped twice and both times used the Leland CO2. No leaks for me. I even had some gas left over in the end. Maybe I'm just lucky? I have two more ready to "tap", I'll be using the same CO2 carts. It won't be until Thanksgiving though.

I also use the cheap walmart version. It's call Sun Oxygen Cleaner. Half the price of Oxiclean and works just as good.

Thanks for the recipe. I will be trying this next!!!

Yea.... I like smelling the CO2, smells great. I haven't had a infection yet (knocks on wood), so I don't know what one smells like- if it does like smell anything.

Great idea but it looks likes the valve can damage the piercing needle in the dispenser. I'm thinking of something like this: http://www.pyramydair.com/s/a/Air_Venturi_IZH_Drozd_Bulk_Fill_Adapter/1180

Is there any smell related to a infection? I ask because I bottle in a bucket. I can't help myself from smelling the co2 from the airlock. Smells great! I wouldn't like to know of an infection before I take the lid off.

1) Did you remove the post? If so make sure the poppet is centered before you fully tighten. 2) Do you mean the lid? Try re-seating it, if that doesn't work use some keg lube (or food grade mineral oil).

I wasn't going to pay full price for it! Someone is selling it on CL for $90. I'm thinking it wouldn't be a bad deal and if the feature does work then it would be a great deal.

I found this locally on craigslist: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B003BEDG08/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 The description states that at a lower setting it can hold beverages... at a ideal temperature for consumption. Does anyone know how truthful the statement is? This would be great...

I am thinking about making this for my next batch. Which would be better: 1/4" @ 50' ($40) or 3/8" @ 20' ($24) I am thinking of using a spare aquarium pump that would cycle ice water through the tubing.

With what is out there right now you can't go wrong interchanging parts and/or doing a custom build. If there's a gun show near your area you should drop by to see if you can get parts cheap. There are a lot of accessories too! The three major things you need to consider are these: Chrome...

Something weird happened with my bottle. It was rock hard when I put it in the mini fridge. I guess it's too cold or something cause the bottle imploded. Should I open the cap and relieve the pressure?

Malkore stated 27" without disconnects, 28.5" with. Diagrams states 23-24", which will put it around 24.5-25.5" with disconnects. Almost a 3" difference. If it really is 28.5" I am screwed cause that's the inside height of the fridge that I converted.

Are you sure about the 27"?? The diagrams of corny kegs I've seen have them at around 23-24". I'm worried cause I just modified my mini fridge and the height is only 28.25".
