Would you have a reference to show us? I don't understand. You mean you're able to save your clamps without cutting?

To crimp and cut, with the same tool?

My gas one, I have gas leaks. Haha no worries. I found it always interesting to see how deep things can do. Though I'm still fairly new to beer and kegging and haven't had time to really push into the science of it. I'm not super excited to switch to ear clamps, though it seems it has a...

I checked going to bed last night, and it seemed okay. This morning I check, tiny bubbles leaking off of the disconnect. Could it be related also to the amount of beer in the keg (pretty full) and the pressure building up inside? Haha, sorry for not topping up its chemistry topic ^^

I confirm that it the tube is cold, It's quite hard to put on the barb, even harder to pull it out. I always manipulate it after passing them under hot water. I have tried warming them up and tighten them more (with the worm clamp). It seems that there are no more leak, even going up to 30PSI...

I confirm my gas barb is also 3/8" (0.38), that's why I said it works. AlexKay thanks for the recommendation. I also thought of warming the tube and tighten up the clamp. I'll give it a try and monitor see if I see bubbles again. What do you mean the hose clamp should be more of an afterthought?

Hi all, I've noticed I may have CO2 leaks off of my manifold, and off the bard on the gas disconnect. Interestingly, it's not consistent, and not at the same time. I notice the leak happens quite certainly between 20 and 30PSI. I noticed it last night, dropped it at 20PSI, and it seemed okay...

Thanks guys. Lesson learned for me! I hope it doesn't happen again, to any of us!

What do you mean by Poppet?

I guess I use worm clamps then. And no more liquid QD on while force carbonating!

It's a corny keg... First time it happened. But I guess yes, I won't leave the liquid post connected anymore while force carbonating unless serving. Lost pretty much a full beer and a 10lbs of CO2... I had only used the tank for 1 keg before that... speaking of which, how much is it...

Never leave a picnic tap hooked for too long then... sad sad sad So the theory would be : there was too much pressure in the keg it made the beer flow out from the liquid side of things?

What startles me is that, if I had a CO2 leak, why would my beer be pushed out of the keg and empty itself...?

When you mean leak, you mean a Co2 Leak? How would it have push the beer until it's gone? I don't understand. I had it already carbonated for 2 days without any issues, apparently.

What's QD for? I should have checked last night but ... The liquid post should be fine as I was cleaning and sanitizing the keg upside-down. I did try to spray all the links where there was CO2 and found no bubbling, nor hissing on this system.

Hi everyone, I woke up this morning to check my kegs to an unpleasant surprise. I feel like the keg that was hooked to the CO2 almost emptied itself everywhere... and the CO2 tank empty. Last time I checked the set-up was the night before last, I was carbonating my beer. IT was near to be...

Thank you for your detailed answer Doug. So you think it doesn't have to do with my sparging method. I'm not sure when I can get a mill, but if by next brew I can't, I'll ask my supplier to double or grain thinner, and explain to him the situation. I preboil gravity ready has to be adjusted...

EDIT : I got my grains from where I usually get them, and receive them milled. I thought the mash consistency (in the grain when stirring) was fairly good, not too thick. I supposed the amount of water was not insufficient. At my first attempt, I tried a no-sparge method, filling more water in...

Hi homebrew community! In an attempt to find out what I could do better, I'd like to describe my brewing processes I just did yesterday, that resulted in me in an appearing 55% brewing efficiency of my batch yesterday. I'm quite frustrated obviously. If anyone experienced with that system may...

Good point, I couldn't tell if it was 270lbs. If 27lbs and I got a scale at 40lbs... I got screwed 7lbs :-(
