I had a post o ring that I couldn't figure out why It leeked.. finally I took the o ring off and if you looked closely.. there was a half moon dent in the rubber( probably from forcing the quick connect on one time when it wouldn't go) replaced o ring and works great now

I have brewed often with a garden hose... though I run it and keep tasting till I get no hose taste. ive never found any off flavours in my brew.. but if im not lazy I hookup my food grade hose and use that.

15 x 19" by 26 deep (1 corny just clears the lid) it has a compresser bench inside so id need to put a 10" collar on it to get the 2nd to clear. im happy with it the way it is for now, its in the garage and the keg is cold. I cant afford taps and manifolds etc right now anyways. nonetheless im...

thanks minky, I never realized that! I did some research and it looks like it is 3-3.16 lbs per litre. that makes a lot more sense.. ive been brewing for a long time and and have only a scale that goes to 1 lb (kitchen scale) ..
