Aaaaand the issues continue..... So, I took probably 3-4L of beer and it was still kinda yeasty so I pulled the cap I made and bent the tube because I might of been sucking beer off the bottom. (where all the sediment is) Recharged to 10lb's of co2 or so and let it sit. Couple days go by and...

That's a good idea Mike, but very labour intensive. I want to forget about it for a month or two while I work on the dragster or the mustang or the house or.....a million things to burn my time, don't need another! lol! Of course, when it gets closer to tapping time...I could put it in a large...

Ok, thanks for the tip. Think I might put it in the lake when the ice goes out. (I live on a lake) I'm thinking a couple months in 33+ water would lager it well.

ok...had to "try a taste". Pulled about 3/4 of a cup and it smelled yeasty..umm..yeastie...yeast like? I could taste yeast! you know what I mean, anyway, other than the yeast it seemed ok, then I read somewhere you have to purge or throw away the first couple cups. Can anyone elaborate on this...

Naw, been married too long, it was "hall sex".

I saw this and thought, crap I missed this...then I realised being married I was probably screaming at that time anyway, so it's all good!

Just checked before heading to work, it was 12 lbs so I bumped it back up to 14.

Thanks for all the great info guys. Forums are such a great wealth of freely given knowledge! I'll wait until it stops dropping below freezing before I wrap it and put the keg in the garage. Currently it's -14. So, it sits in the basement around 55deg at 14lbs. C,mon summer! Lol!

24hr's, no pressure loss! Yay! If I put it in the garage to lager, will it hurt it if it goes below freezing? Also what about -5 to +5 temps, will the variation hurt the lagering process?

Oh forgot to mention its at 35lbs. Yes I'll drop it to 10 or 12 to drink.

Well thanks for all the help everyone. Checked tonight and in the last 17hrs it dropped about 3lbs so. When it does eventually bleed down I'll pull the cap and seal it permanently.

"instead of a wheel turn adjust the pressure" Man I hate autocorrect! That's supposed to read "instead of a wheel to adjust the pressure" I mention the regulator as its permanently set to 35psi with a bolt. There is no leak at that point. My leak is at the cap/keg.

Lol, yes Yooper, I'm losing pressure. The regulator has a bolt in it instead of a wheel turn adjust the pressure. I got it like this from a guy who was making beer in trade for some work I did for him. It's set to 35 psi. I have a 57l beer keg with a sanke connection. I got a 2" SS cap and...

From about one o'clock to eleven (10hrs) it went from 12 lbs to about 5. I just put it at 35 so we'll see how it is by morning. Got some ideas to fix it.

Well I added co2 and my homemade setup has a slow leak. Put 12 lbs in and while I come up with a solution I'll see how long it takes to bleed down. Dang it, one thing or another...
