I'll go ahead and get a new regulator as the high pressure gauge on this has been zero throughout... even on a full tank. Certainly a lot of things wrong with this regulator.

That's the tubing I use! Definitely the wonky regulator gauge that's causing issues.

Thanks. I'm going to try doing that sometime. Here's what I do. I carbonate at 12 psi for a week. Disconnect the co2. Bleed the keg of co2. I put the gas back on with the co2 regulator pressure knob all the way loose. I turn the knob until I hear the faintest of noise of gas entering the keg...

There really is no temperature shift. I wrap the beer line around the keg and place the faucet on top of the keg when not in use.

Thanks for all the replies guys! I just checked my tubing, and the OD is indeed 5/16" like some of you pointed out. I need to correct that in my opening post. The tubing is meant for dispensing beverage under pressure. I've tried dispensing at 12 psi as well. My beer flows out super fast and...

I've kegged around 20 batches and have always had problems with my beers foaming up. Here's my setup: -15' of 3/16" ID 5/16" OD vinyl tubing -Picnic taps and perlicks -3 pin lock kegs with new o-rings -Serving pressure from 2psi to 16psi -Serving temperature: 38f -Force carbonate at 12psi for a...

Thanks for the quick reply. Could improper crushing of grains have led to the bad efficiency? I'm not quite sure if I had crushed my grains well with a rolling pin. I kept my mash temperatures at 148-152f and mashed out at 170. The pack of yeast was fairly new. A little less than a month had...

Hi all, I just brewed my 2nd batch of beer two days ago. It was a 4 gallon batch of hefeweizen with 4lb of wheat malt, 2lb of pale ale malt and 2lb of Munich malt. I used the brew in a bag method. I cooled the wort down to 70f and took the OG reading which was only 1.04, while I was expecting...
