I accidentally forced water into the regulator. When I turn the gas on, there's a colorless liquid in the line. So I removed the disconnect, and tried just letting gas flow for a bit to see if it will work itself out, but then I thought I should stop and seek the advice of your combined...

Ohhhhh man, this is a yummy beer. I brewed this and put it on tap, and I don't think it's gonna last long! It's so pretty, too! Thanks for the recipe. I'll definitely brew this one again (and again!).

Thanks for the immediate and super-clear response!!!

I'm trying this recipe tomorrow, but as I'm quite a noob I'm a bit confused. Do I add the liquid extract at the beginning of the 60-min boil (which is what I usually do), or the last 15 min of the boil??? The recipe reads: 7.00 lb Amber Liquid Extract [Boil for 15 min]

Praise the beer gods--it works! The problem was so simple. I took was a screwdriver to the screw that serves as the regulator and BAM! the gas was flowing. I didn't think I'd have to crank it down that hard, but I was wrong! Thanks to everyone for your help!

Thanks LeeF! (And everyone!) I'll post a pic of my set-up this evening, and I'll try everyone's suggestions till I get it right. This is a little daunting, since so many seem to get their stuff up-and-running with no problems at all!

This kegging business has me anxious to get home. Maybe I should cut outta work and go play with it. If I had a leak, that would have totally emptied my CO2 tank overnight, right?

Would that be the large knob on top? (Sorry for the dumbness)

I'll check that when I get home. Another concern: When I sanitized the keg, I followed midwestern supplies advice: "The first step is sanitizing the keg. I personally do this with a rinse of hot water and B-Brite of a gallon or so, shaken in a sealed keg, then expelled through the keg...

I attempted to keg my first batch last night. I santized the keg and forced IO through the line with CO2. Filling the keg went as I expected, then I hooked up my gas line and pressurized (set at 15 PSI), and into the fridge she went. I checked on the setup this morning. The low pressure...

I just received the homebrew deluxe dual keg system fro midwest, and I have a batch ready to be kegged as soon as I get the CO2 tank filled. Any advice on conditioning w/ priming sugar versus force carbonation?
