I am curious what the reasons are for this. I am pretty new so I'm always trying to learn. What differences do you find?

My dogs love it, but if you give them too much you can’t pick up after them. It just crumbles. And they cough it up for 10-15 min after because it gets stuck in their throat. I made granola with it once, and I’ll second the razor blades in the throat effect. Also coughed it up for a bit...

Thanks a lot. Those pics are great. It’s too bad if I have to replace equipment but reading online it sounds like you aren’t the only one with a leaky mini reg

It’s like the Hash. Drinkers with a run of problem (Google it. It’s amazing) Thanks. I may start just turning it down all together

Ha so you did

That’s a good idea. Not sure why I didn’t think of it. Yeah. I drop it to apx 10 psi before serving. Another good idea. It’s on a ball lock so maybe I’ll just connect it to my Keezer regulator and see. NB did make a rather large gesture to offset the inconvenience of the issue. In my...

I'm not sure I have come across clarity conversations. This is interesting. I have another rabbit hole to venture down now, thanks!

I have found NB to be totally useless in getting help. I originally reached out to the after my first unsuccessful carbonation attempt, I followed their instructions to a T, and still had the same thing happen. They eventually told me they have found metal shards get stuck in the gasket(?) and...

I reduced the beer from 20 PSI to serve, that was just the pressure I attempted to carbonate at. Forgive me if this is like beating a dead horse. So if I understand this correctly, I either need to add one of those picnic lines/taps to the keg so there is sufficient line, or I need to change...

Definitely not an expert, and certainly not experienced given I've only been at this for about a year. But when I am not brewing, I am reading about brewing (my wife thinks I have a problem lol). What I have garnered from my reading and backed up by my own brewing (20 all grain batches give or...

It came with the kit from NB (see pic). I cranked it up to 20 psi after I took it to a friends place and served them flattish beer (about a month, month and a half ago). I figured it may have needed more CO2 but when I had a beer the other day (the beer that prompted this post) same thing...

i have the CF10 with the temp bundle. I currently have beering lagering in it with no issues so far. It hasnt moved much since I put it together this summer. I have had a few issues with Spike's equipment so I am not surprised they seem to have issues with the jacket (pump suddenly stopped...

That makes sense. Thanks

Sorry, I meant with beer. And if I put too much beer in that reduces headspace. If it requires a certain amount of headspace to carbonate properly this could be part of it, though not all, I assume.

I’m curious about this headspace situation. The bulbs are big enough but I wonder if I filled it too much. This is a good possibility at first however I have since gradually drank the beer over the last couple months so by the time I got to the point of 20 psi, it was at least half empty...

The bulb is 74 g

I’ve only filled it twice. Both times it was a full gallon give or take an ounce or two. I use the set up in the pic and put it in fridge temps (mini bar fridge or my very cold garage). Roughly 35-38 F. I have used only the pieces they provide so the tap, regulator and Co2 in the pic. As well...

No keg lube though I have been meaning to get some. It’s brand new so figured I had some time. I totally forgot about the leak test. I do that for all my connections but for some reason hasn’t occurred to me for the mini keg.

Good point. I’m pretty new and trying to figure this all out. After reading the answers, I figured the co2 wasnt dissolving into the beer. I do have tap on it but it’s not perlick. Just the brass and chrome ones from the kit that NB sells with the keg. I really don’t have a clue what is...

I serve at about 10 psi. I generally turn off the co2 when not in use. I've tried a few ways (keeping CO2 up, turning it off, reducing it for serving after carbonation) but for some reason this keg is not holding pressure, at least not with the current set up. I don't have any problem with my...
