    Refilling CO2 Tanks with Dry Ice?

    I called around to all paintball places here and they wanted $45 for a 5# refill. I might just break down and rent a #20 they rent them for $100 annually and cost the same to refill here.

    purchasing corny kegs

    When I purchased there was nothing stating. That the stainless was compromised, either by weld or by grinder. I wouldn't have such an issue if it didn't damage the inside. The grinder over heated it right through, and the weld is pretty sloppy alot of thick slag inside of the keg. Both make me...

    purchasing corny kegs

    Well the company that I purchased from say they have never had this issue before. Im a little shocked at my luck of having issues with both. They requested pictures, which I have sent, but haven't responded to me yet. Not a good start so far for my first kegging experience.

    purchasing corny kegs

    I do find it hard to believe that they would have made the mistake of sending 2 cornys in that state, by mistake

    purchasing corny kegs

    Im now curious, is it common to, when you purchase Corny's, that they come with welded patches and or grinders taken to them?

    Two CO2 Bottles Now Empty Due to CO2 Leak

    Don't forget to use the bubbles when u mix it up. Alot of people don't realize that it is alot more accurate if u use the foam. After all a small leak on a gas line can be less than 1/4 of a psi

    Two CO2 Bottles Now Empty Due to CO2 Leak

    Use the bubbles from the soap water mix and u will find the leak no matter how small it is. That's why any natural gas fitting I do I soap every single joint after, then you know for a fact there isn't even the slightest leak. But never trust the valve on any compressed gas tank to be sealed...

    Two CO2 Bottles Now Empty Due to CO2 Leak

    Also often silicone will cause a rubber seal to actually slip out of where it should be sitting. But im not sure of where u r siliconing exactly

    Two CO2 Bottles Now Empty Due to CO2 Leak

    I would use dish soap and water, foam it up and apply a little foam to each joint. It'll bubble immediately if there is any leak at all. As a plumber I never crank things too tight, you can damage your sealing point, depending on what type of connection

    torn between sanke and corny

    Well I know that they will be legal sanke kegs because they are directly from the local brewery. I was set to pick up Corny's then I started reading about sanke users. I myself am a plumber by trade so it is very tempting to have only the one sealing point to be concerned about rather then...

    torn between sanke and corny

    Thanks for the quick input, with where I live it looks as though the cost for myself looks to be about the same for me to finish my initial keg setup, from what I have so far. I have a line on sankey's locally, where ill have to deal with shipping, new poppet's, seals and ball locks as well as...

    torn between sanke and corny

    Im new to this site, and haven't kegged anything yet. I finally got tired of bottling, and the wife bought me a kegerator a week ago so I've been doing alot of reading. I have already tracked down a couple of cornys because I had thought sankey was out of the question. But within the last few...
