Howdy-- almost got my system up and going.
Have old CO2 tank that will hopefully get me going till it is empty.
Have 2 corny kegs
Have CO2 regulator
Have chilling unit
Need hoses but that'll be easy enough
QUESTION(s): I have disassembled after finally sourcing proper wrenches. I took awhile to figure out what was needed for the CO2 side; did the liquid side/dip tube side a couple days prior and---
when I took apart the CO2 side, the rubber ring is not directly beneath the 'nipple' attachment, but is between the stainless tube and the main housing.
I could have sworn when I took the liquid side apart the rubber ring was just sitting on top of the dip tube, between it and the nipple. Because I certainly don't remember (I only had two beer during the task!) running the ring allllllll the way down the dip tube and around the bend and off.
Is this correct?
And another side question: first brew to go in is a Hefeweizen, nice and fresh. New to this so I need to read. But: who uses priming sugar/DME for kegging and who just lets CO2 do the work? For the hefe, potentially more flavour with the wheat DME I might potentially add.
Dangers?
Thanks!
