Just hook up a piece of tubing to CO2 quick disconnect and run it into a jar of Star-San for blow off and venting. No need to cut off the dip tube. When you transfer just collect a small amount of beer until it runs clear than transfer the rest.
:mug::mug:I just want to thank Wayne for his input in informing us how to make a great Blue Moon. I made my first batch and it was pretty good, but my second batch was per Wayne's instructions on Reply # 274 scaled up to 10 gallons. I have a glass full setting next to me while I type this...
I've had this happen. I've upped the CO2 pressure to 40 or so pounds and the increased pressure gets the seal to work, then just reduce the pressure to the desired amount once the o ring is seated.
