I know there aren't a lot of us, but I came across something for those of us that use Sanke kegs. CHI has a micromatic device for Sanke kegs that allows you to fill and wash without disassembling. It seems a little too good to be true. Anybody ever used this...

A man with a vision!

So for you guys with multiple taps, do you regulate each line or just run splitters off a single regulator?

What id like to do is run the entire system off one CO2 bottle, but with several regulators. Assuming I was running 4 to 6 taps, would a 5lb bottle be able to handle it?

Red Hook has completely blank bottles, and they are neatly shaped.

So I've been brewing for a few months now. I absolutely love it, and have really jumped right in. When my wife and I figured out how much time we were spending bottling, she agreed to let me get a kegerator. A little patience and some ninja skills landed me a True TDD-2 on the cheap. It came...

BUZINGA! That got me thinking. The first time I hooked the sanitizer keg up to that tap, it ran great. Then the new keg didn't work. Then the sanitizer keg worked on the other tower, but the spout was a little leaky. So I made the video, and the sanitizer keg worked a little, but not...

My coupler has engraved markings for each line, and I've checked them about fifty times now, so they are indeed correct. I've checked for leaks in the system and haven't been able to find any. I originally had a leak in the tower, but I completely replaced that tower with a new one that came...

Looks like Photobucket kept the audio. http://static.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid39.photobucket.com/albums/e151/jmo308/2012-03-20_17-24-43_105.mp4

No, it doesn't make sense. That is why I'm so freaking confused. I posted a video. Unfortunately the audio got killed by YouTube, but you'll see the rough order of things. The first keg is my new one. The second keg is full of sanitizer. It took a second to get the psi right on the second keg...

The spear is there. However, the spear from the other keg is too long to do a swap. I reassembled it and I'm still getting the same issue, but now a couple of squirts of foam. I opened the line and let it run for a couple of minutes, no change in status. I really just want a beer...

Suddenly I find myself Googling Red Green.

OK, I'll attempt this tomorrow. Right now, it's bedtime. Waking up at 4am sucks.

OK, so let me get this right in my head. I have a full keg, fully carbed. On an empty, I'd depress the ball lock and depressurize it before removing the retaining pin and then the spear. However, on a full keg I'm going to shoot beer everywhere if I do this, right?

Is the spear on a 1/4 keg the same size as one on a 1/6 keg?

Holy **** batman, after the fiasco I had putting the sanitizing keg back together, I'm terrified to tear one apart that is actually full of liquid gold.

Possible, but is that likely? This is a store-bought keg, not a homebrew.

Here is how I'm connected. The top is indeed going to the tower, and the CO2 is connected at the side. The ports are clearly labeled on the other side, but I didn't want to slosh the keg around to show that. Here is what the CO2 regulator looks like. I've run the gauntlet from 2-20 psi. I've...

Yes, sanitizer flows but not beer. I just hooked up the second tap to the sanitizer, and it flowed too, made a huge mess. I thought that keg was empty and that hooking it up might seal a leak, but it turns out it just sent sanitizer up the other tower and onto my head. The beer is on the brand...

And the keg has been steady in the kegerator for about four hours now. It definitely should have settled...even though I hauled it home in the sidecar.
