I got some 109's off mcmaster carr in packs of (100), also got the 111's. They might as well be free in packs of 100, costs more to ship them. I did both dip tubes last night. I took off one of the air in connections but couldn't really tell where the hell the o ring even was. It kind of...

I found an O ring similar but not quite close enough. The existing one was totally fried so I changed it anyway and will have to just order the right one. It was a little thinner and the ID seemed a tad big, but it actually sealed no worse than what I had.

Thanks for the clarification on where that O ring will be, I will be removing that post as soon as I get home tonight (long shot, but does anyone happen to know the size of that o ring? I work in a machine shop so we have about 9 million various o rings, I could easily grab a few, that way when...

this is probably a really stupid question but how do I even tell if the dip tube has a problem? is there a connection on the underside of the top of the keg? Is it threaded on from underneath?

So I've gotten my 40 feet of Evabarrier line, and it still isn't working great for whatever reason. I have the psi turned up to 35 at this point. It still comes out in random spurts like air pockets are getting in the lines. I put all 40 feet of line on the system btw. Should I turn down the...

thanks yeah I figured there was no trick, because frankly what could it be? just wanted to confirm

just curious, is there a trick to hooking up the lines to the tap shank itself that I'm missing? I feel like it's ultra difficult to get that connection made inside the tower with the nut and that round spacer on the inside hanging around the tube until it's connected and you can try and get it...

Fair enough. I will try that for sure before cranking it up. I totally agree it must have had good carb in there, the foam is seriously 3/4 of the entire glass at first and then settles down and I have 2 inches of water I have some 4mm ID hose on order already for my one keg, and the other I'm...

OMG, I think I have that flow control push fitting on my one keg. sheesh, I didn't even think to wonder what the screw knob on top was. Just so I'm understanding this, so just like if I had a ball valve or something on the beginning of my line, I can leave a short line and just turn down the...

yeah I tried the shaking thing and I could hear gas pumping in, just didn't seem to last. I'm definitely adding more line as a first step and hopefully I can turn the gas pressure up at that point

wow, well that would explain at least a good part of my issue. I have maybe 5-6 feet of water line in there. I had NO idea 20-40 feet was the range I needed to be in. So I will start with that for sure. I agree with the one comment about turning up the reg to 40-50, which I did do for a while...

so I know this is a homebrew forum but I cannot figure out how to get these questions answered so I was hoping someone on here might know. I started attempting to make carbonated water in corny kegs, but am having a couple fundamental issues and I've never done this before so I simply don't know...
