True. I may try just getting a flared end dip tube and cutting it down to size. What's the harm? As for the silicone, you're probably...

I guessed the same thing but would not want to drop one in only to find out the hard way that it doesn't work. Not sure how the...

That's a great point, but in this case, I'm fairly certain it is just the threading that's off. When I looked at the leaky post, it was...

Note that a poppet can leak temporarily if a little chunk of debris lands between the post and the poppet oring. It's a good idea to...

Very true!

All good recommendations and food for thought. I just ended up leaving the keg as is with the gas post and will sort it all out once I...

Even if one was assiduous about purging the recipient keg it won't be "zero ppm O2" so there shall be O2 pickup. And to what end? All...

I recommend not doing an extra transfer due to the potential for O2 pickup in the offing. Bad juju. Otoh, there's no harm nor foul...

Thanks, somewhere I read that reversing the posts and QDs may lead gas leakage given the slightly different size/fit, but I figured no...

Hey guys, I just kegged a dry-hopped SMASH yesterday only to come down and find a small puddle of beer next to my keg in the morning...

That's good to know. I just did mine at 10 psi and equalized the pressure in the sight-glass chamber and there were no issues. Before...

The PRV on my sight-glass hop dropper is only rated for about 2 psi. So I release the pressure from the headspace of fermenter, drop the...

You should have enough pressure to dump the yeast cone by then regardless. Obviously, open the valve gradually. No need for it to be...
