    Misadventures in nitro kegging, a cautionary tale

    Golddiggie - Thanks for the suggestion. About a month ago I was looking into the Oetiker clamps to redo my entire system (liquid and gas) but decided against it because of cost and no real need. After washing 10 gallons of beer down the street at a cost of $100, I think you can guess which...

    Misadventures in nitro kegging, a cautionary tale

    There were no hose clamps on the shank assembly. Came from the factory without clamps and when I built the keezer 4 years ago I never thought to clamp those hose fittings. With regular pressure beers the barbs were more than enough to hold everything in place. Nitro beers at 40 psi, not so...

    Thanks Drunkle. I'll be holding a moment of silence for her later this evening. She was a damn fine intro beer to the world of nitro

    Misadventures in nitro kegging, a cautionary tale

    After last night I feel your pain sharps (insanely jealous if you own a shiloh), black butte is quickly becoming one of my favs. The kicker was knowing it took 3 weeks to leak out and I never saw it coming...I also lost about half of my bottle of beer gas and the cooling fan for that tower...

    Misadventures in nitro kegging, a cautionary tale

    About three weeks ago I finally bit the bullet and invested in a nitro setup, went out and bought a keg of Left Hand Milk Stout Nitro and life was good, amazing in fact. Had zero problems with pours, had the most satisfying cascade effect every time. Then... today happened. Went to pour a...

    CO2 leak, tried all traditional methods to find

    Good news and bad news. Good, I think I finally found my leak. Bad, it's in the tank valve itself. Submerged the tank again, watched for about 10 minutes before I noticed two of the smallest bubbles I've ever seen float up from the part circled in red in the attached picture...

    CO2 leak, tried all traditional methods to find

    Have double checked all the worm clamps, even got paranoid and replaced them all earlier tonight. Have all the plastic washers where they need to be. Think I'll give your clamps a try and put an order in tomorrow. What sizes do you usually go with? I have a couple larger than normal barbs so...

    CO2 leak, tried all traditional methods to find

    AZ - Yeah the co2 isn't hooked up to kegs. Been testing with just the tank, primary going to a T that splits to a quick disc and a secondary

    CO2 leak, tried all traditional methods to find

    That is why I am so puzzled by it. According to the high pressure gauge there is a leak, yet nothing bubbles. Have gone from around 500 psi in the tank below 400 in the last 2 nights of testing. Will try replacing the gauge tomorrow and see what happens.

    Jrems - tried your idea a couple times over the last hour and still getting a slow leak.

    CO2 leak, tried all traditional methods to find

    Don't think it is the primary. I've had the entire rig submerged and not a bubble to be seen. Also, if I close the ball valve coming out of the primary and close the CO2 tank, the high pressure gauge holds indefinitely.

    Yup that is a check valve between the disconnect - "unfortunately" it is working correctly :/

    CO2 leak, tried all traditional methods to find

    I have a very slow CO2 leak that I have been trying to find for the last two nights with no luck. In the picture links you will see I have a primary regulator that runs at 40 PSI going to a T where it splits to a quick disconnect and a secondary regulator. The secondary regulator runs into a 4...

    excessive amount of trub

    Thanks for the quick replies, puts my mind at rest for sure and now I can stop worrying about it and get back to doing another ale tonight : )

    excessive amount of trub

    I ran into a little trouble using doing my first lager (Optimator kit) and was hoping someone might be able to provide a quick easy answer. I have ended up with an excessive amount of trub in my primary fermenter (fermentation has not started yet), about 3-4" of trub. This is my first attempt...
