Thanks! Will do. Sent from my HTCONE using Home Brew mobile app

Off as in contaminated. I had another keg in there and it was just aged and stale (even older). When I disconnected the older, aged, beer I didn't smell anything. When I disconnected the beer that tasted weird, I could definitely smell it in the lines. So I have to assume contaminated lines...

I've had a keg of Scottish Ale in my kegerator since September. Recently it has begun to taste off, tested by both friends and I. I'm putting a new keg of apfelwein in today and will clean the lines and taps. Do we think its the beer or the lines? I know its a simple matter of trying it...

I did this a month or so ago. I took a box cutter and went around the door frame. Be careful to leave a lip, because you'll want to use the whiteboard method. So I cut out the door, then basically scooped and cut out the foam insulation so the white board would fit. I cut the whiteboard...

The air lock popped off my secondary at some point in time since I racked it on Thursday. I have no idea how long it has been off. Fermantation was done, so I'm assuming the stopper may have been too wet and just popped off. Either way, I can't tell if it's been infected of not. I keep it...

wow, a TON of prizes this year. pick me!

The shop I originally got the kegs from just sent me new pressure relief valves...worked perfectly. I raised the pressure to 30 and no leaks! Great success. Thanks for the ideas everyone. I got some kegs from midwest today since there was a brief sale. Now I can make more!

Oh by guy I meant the guy at the shop I bought it from, kegglebrewing.com lucky for me, they are in the area. unfortunately my lhbs isn't open on Sunday or Mondays...then Tuesday is Christmas...may not fix this until Wednesday.

Could it be the pressure release spring is old? Maybe not strong enough? I'm just struggling to figure out what's going on. I put some sealant tape on the thread to see if that helped...nope. I emailed the guy I got it from, see if he has any suggestions.

will the pressure release valve release pressure if it gets too high in the keg? like when I did it at 30, it was leaking, but I didn't see it leaking at 10...or at 10 psi was it just too low and I didn't notice it?

Wait, when I look at those two links they look exactly the same as the picture I posted...? And I have another lid on there first now, one with a flip release actually, and its leaking too

This is what I'm working with. I'm surprised that both kegs would have bad valves..

So I got the tank refilled and got the nylon washer, very easy. Sprayed down with soapy water, and two leaks of course. The quick connect on the line from the regulator to the gas manifold splitter is leaking slightly. I tried tightening it as much as possible, but I can still see some...

So many things to do! Thanks for all the help. Once I full up I'll be sure to let everyone know what worked. Appreciate it

Will do. I definitely heard gas leaking through the regulator/tank connection initially once the system was turned on, but then it seemed like it sealed/pressurized itself. Could be the culprit.

EDIT I went to go check on the keg for some more investigating. When I pulled the release, unfortunately no pressure. So what I gather from that is there is definitely a leak revolving around the keg. Get a new o-ring set and see what happens? They were reconditioned kegs, so I...

Also, since I don't currently have co2 flowing to my keg, will that 'hurt' or disrupt any of the conditioning?

I tried kegging for the first time last night. I thought everything went well until I checked it 5 minutes ago. The tank is completely out already. Since this was my first time and I'm only going on what I've read and basic intuition, I'm sure there were lots of areas I could have goofed...
