Sorry, never posted that I got it fixed! I backed the screws on the regulators all the way out, and then screwed them back in and it started working. I sure thought I had done that before, but doing it while not hooked up to the tank or anything seemed to work.

Just tried it. PLENTY of pressure in the tank. That thing is loud.

Scratch my last comment. The high-pressure gauge is not showing anything now.

Both adjustment screws are backed out. And yes, a whole bunch of pressure in the tank since if I leave it open and start to unscrew from the regulator it starts to gush out. The high-pressure gauge does indeed move and shows pressure in the tank. It just won't show on the other gauges.

So I haven't had anything on tap for a month or so and was just about to clean my lines since I'm going to be getting a keg in a few days. Well I opened my kegerator door and noticed that the regulator had no pressure at all. At first I was afraid I had a leak and my CO2 tank was empty. I...

I just setup my kegerator today and the first corny keg I put in was a microbrew since none my homebrew was ready yet. The problem after getting everything setup is that it is very very foamy, almost 90% of the glass is foam. This is after 3-4 pours. What should I check? The CO2 gauge is...

Just got my kegerator conversion kit today and had the 5lb CO2 filled. I have everything hooked up and it seems okay, except that the tank pressure gauge is only around 400psi. This is at room temp (~75 degrees), not in the fridge yet. So my question is, do you think my CO2 tank was not...

Be sure to let me know when you find out! Thanks!

I'm about to pick up this fridge, but was curious if it would be possible to fit a Corny keg and a 1/6 barrel in here? From what I can read, a 1/6 barrel is only about a 1/2" taller and 1/4" wide than a Corny. Anyone know if I could fit both in? Thanks!

Is there a good writeup on how to do this? I'd love to save a few bucks, but have no idea where to start. Looking at the threads here there is some advice, but not a whole guide.

I'm looking at buying a dual faucet kegerator setup from Keg Connection and wanted to make sure I was getting the right thing. I'm wanting to be able to serve 2 kegs of homebrew, or be serving 1 while carbbing up the second. Does this include everything I need? Anything else I might...

Oh, and they are sitting in a closet in the upstairs of my house. Probably around a constant 70 degrees.

Well I started cracking open bottles and dropping in a bit of yeast. No hiss/extremely small hiss on the first 4 bottles. Then I opened the 5th and it got a nice big hiss. I poured it, and it had perfect carbonation and it tasted divine. I continued on, and most of them had zero carbonation...

Thanks for the help everyone! I'll pick up some US-05 and recarb. I'll post my results in another 6 weeks. :)

If it were only a couple weeks I'd agree. But after 6 weeks, and ZERO carbonation? I'm pretty sure whatever yeast was in there is long gone by this time. And the recipe is Austin Homebrew's American Barleywine. Highly recommended, but maybe don't let it sit in secondary as long as me. :)
