    Hey guys,

    I recently bought a nitro kegging system and everything was working wonderfully. I had the beer gas connected to my keg connected to my tap inside my kegerator. I went out of town this weekend and when I returned, there was beer sitting in the gas in line.

    Turns out that my beer gas tank is empty. This seems highly abnormal since it has only been sitting on the keg for a week. I carbed the keg with a co2 tank and then connected the beer gas and left it connected. I guess there was a leak or something. Bummer.

    Certainly sounds like a leak in the system, almost certainly between the tank and the keg. I say that because if you are getting beer back in your air line (which shouldn't have happen if the beer is below the air dip tube) it must be getting push back up.

    I run 2 nitro taps and I get several kegs through 1 tank (I 'carb' with nitro on those beers too), so yep, must be a leak.
