    Hello All,

    Just tried my hand at kegging today, didn't know half of what I thought I did and now I have a mess on my hands.

    Background, its a wit I'm patient and willing to wait the 2 or so weeks if needed.

    I have my kegerator set to 42f.

    I racked to the keg, put 10 psi on it and pulled the relief valve several times and let the pressure back up to 10 to purge the o2 inside the kegerator.

    I attached the beer line, with the co2 line still attached and the tap was off, beer shot out of the little holes near the tap. What am I doing wrong

    I've obvisouly disconnected the beer line now as to not have to mop up anymore beer.

    There should be a seal on the faucet the nut tightens on the faucet til it seals
