I got my kegging system all set up about a month ago. I'm currently using picnic taps inside my chest freezer. When I went to get a beer yesterday, I found my tank empty. Does anyone have any tips on how to find a leak that slow?
There are a lot of places to look, because I swapped almost everything on my regulator. I have a dual secondary regulator that I bought cheap on ebay. I swapped out the low pressure gauges (it came with gauges then went up to 100psi, so it was hard to see small pressures on them). I swapped the single flare fittings on the outputs for Y's and flared shutuff/check valves. I used TFE paste and tightened everything with a wrench.
I read something in my searching on here just now about using some sort of washer in between flare fittings. I didn't do this. Is it necessary?
