That is actually exactly the one that I have been looking into! So I am leaning a bit towards one of those + picnic 2.1... That could be my next step

Thanks for the info, I may just get a spunding valve then for the "second reading". Though a bit sad that I could not have it connected at the same time as the regulator, but I guess for a quick check every now and then it is not too bad. Regarding the fridge: We live in a 64 square meter...

A money saver idea: Could I get a spunding valve with e built in manometer? Then I could use it for spunding in the future. Would that do the trick if I set the pressure to max when connected to the keg, should it not then read the pressure without letting any pressure out? This way I don't need...

Yea it does seem like the mini core 360 may have a check valve built in... Either that or it is massively undershooting for me.. Should I get a manometer to put on, for example, the beer out post in order to get another reading? Looking into them rn but of course either the ball lock fitting or...

Hmm okay. I am not against beer line, it is just I can't really fit too much of it in our household apt fridge. It is cramped as it is just getting the keg and sodastream gas in there :/ Thanks! Yea I am planning to ge another as soon as they drop in local stores :) And ofc got this flow...

Thanks for the input! Could you ellaborate on why the duotight is a PIA? Also, did you get the one after the other (as replacement) or do you have different setups, for example if you need a beer line from one keg, I guess the duotight would be the only option almost?

Okay another small overdue update. I think my biggest issue is probably that it was overcarbonated. As mentioned, the gauge was at 0 when closing the gas and everything for a week, and did not move. A few days ago I pulled the PRV on the keg and a lot of gas came out, so it was definately not...

Thanks a ton for the tip! Your setup does look quite similar too mine, though mine is obviously not in a dedicated fridge and I am more limited to space. But the tips about IDs and picnik taps are golden, thanks! Ah I see, I did not realise that there was a specific QD for the picnik tap...

I don't follow here, what do you mean? picnik tap only compatible with picnik tap? It dropped all the way to zero when pulling the PRV until nothing more came out (PRV on keg). It really did not require a lengthy pull. Yes I will do this! I will pull the PRV on the keg and make sure the gauge...

Ok thanks. It was the QDs that I was unsure if are compatible. Nice it would work, but as I said, a short line would be optimal with my current fridge setup/restrictions.. I could do as you instruct. I suppose you mean that I reconnect the gas QD to the keg before checking the gauge? As surely...

Yeah I am unsure too but it does seem like the gauge is not moving at all even with the gas off, so could be? And regarding headspace, yes definately quite a lot now since I have done my testing. Probably around 1/4 of the keg is gone. And the surface area is probably quite large too as I have...

Soon two days in without any gas ON and my gauge is still at 10psi (which I set it to just before turning everything off). Going away for a few days on holiday now so we will see when I come back.. Might have to depressure + leave it and repeat if I have got no clearer indication by then..

Yeah no I don't expect this to solve the problem but I wanna see if I see an increase in pressure etc. the pressure definately drops if I pull the PRV, that I have tried. Though I have not tried pulling it and letting it sit and checking if it creeps back up again without any external (new)...

My GF made this for me for a beer Xmas calendar I was part of :) My IPA was no 24. The goose, as it is a goose island IPA clone

I re-use my bags often, though very rarely for dry hop. If I am all out of new ones, I may cook and sanetize old ones for DH but generally I re-use only for boil additions. But that is just me, and my fear of infection :)
