Brand new. I think there may be a slight grove in the post near the o ring groove. May just get a new post to be sure.

hows this ?

I will say this. It looks like maybe there is a slight "ding" for lack of a better word on the post near the grove for the o ring. Maybe I put a small groove in the post when I was tightening it ??

Not really there is still beer in it. I know that it's got to be coming from the post somehow. Just not sure why it only leaks when the gas QD is connected.

when the QD is connected its definitely bubbling inside where the QD connects with the post. I assumed it was the O ring on the post but I changed that.

can't be the QD. I have a 2 line set up and tried both QD on both kegs and only the one post leaked when connected. I am at a total loss.

Further testing and developments : I filled the keg with gas hear a hissing sound when the gas line is connected. Disconnect the gas and it stops. Soapy water no bubbles. Re connect the gas and hissing plus bubbles from soapy water. I thought maybe it was the connection from the gas line so I...

Ok thanks I will try those things next. Just so frustrating at 40 bucks per tank of gas

I tend to agree with you however when I fill the keg with gas and disconnect it leaks empty. Wouldn't that be the popet?

UPDATE : I did some testing and have discovered after changing all o rings and and switching gas line inputs between kegs that the leak is from the post on one keg. I assume that the popet went bad seeing as the post itself is pretty solid and basic. Is this a common problem and if so do the...

Ok thanks I'll look into this stuff. Like I said in the past I know it was leaking but this time it happened over such a LONG period of time it seemed odd.

OK so I have 2 tap kegerator. I carbed the 2 beers that were in there. had a problem in the past with finding the the co2 tank empty and flat beer so this time I checked it continually. Had my brothers over, we drank, I continued to check it for at least a week after that and all was fine. I...

Ok thanks. Good to know.

and I can skip using actual/canned pumpkin ?

So I have decided to attempt an all grain pumpkin ale for the season. After much research I really do not want the mess/disaster of using actual pumpkin (real or canned) it doesn't look to me as if it adds enough to the finished product to warrant the headache. My question is, what would be the...

I have a tapped corny keg in my kegerator. My question is if I want to force carb a second keg if I disconnect the gas line from the currently tapped keg will it hold the gas while I force carb the new keg ? I ordered a dual system and it will arrive on friday but I'd like to have my new batched...

I mashed at about 159.

I brewed the following recipe for a brown ale, its tastes great but my issue with it is that its too heavy. Any suggestions ? 9 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) Grain 1 81.8 % 1 lbs Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) Grain 2 9.1 % 8.0 oz Chocolate Malt (350.0 SRM) Grain 3 4.5 % 8.0...

I am force carbing my latest batch and a thought came to me. When I set the co2 to my desired pressure do I need to keep the tank on or can I get the pressure to what I want for force carb and turn off the tank ?
