That gave me some inspiration - the valves already had a good amount of teflon tape on them, so I simply tightened the leakiest of the 3 one full revolution (to bring the valve handle back to the same position) and retested it - no bubbles! I guess I'll try tightening the other 2 and testing...

I recently begun the jump to kegging - I bought a used chest freezer, built a wood collar for it, and purchased the necessary tanks, kegs, hoses and fittings. Hooked everything up and played around with carbonated water while waiting for my lager to condition, which gives me a lot of time...

Only time I ever had trouble with bottle carbonation was when I left an ale in a slightly too cool room - it did fine when I got it back up to the high 60s. What type of yeast did you use, and are you sure about the temp? Was there anything unusual about the fermentation itself (did it take...

Thanks for the replies so far - to clarify my concern is not so much about lossage during the transfer from fermentor to keg (or bucket to bottle), but rather any lossage during tap dispensing. Also even with a forward seal faucet, you have a bit of beer that lingers forward of the seal I would...
