    Help figure out regulator leak?

    I'm sorry, I'm not sure what brand regulator it is. It came in a unlabeled box when i bought it. I haven't had a chance to return it yet. The store is a little ways from where I live, but the tape seems to be holding up fine for now. I tested for any leaks and none so far. When I go to...

    Controlling diacetyl? How to maximize it?

    I know usually diacetyl is not a desirable flavor in beer, but I wanted to try something just for fun. I don't really want any esters just a strong diacetyl flavor. Does anyone have any good info on controlling diacetyl during fermentation? What yeast strains are known to have a high diacetyl...

    Help figure out regulator leak?

    Thanks everyone for your help! Finally figured out what was going on. The regulator had a faulty release valve. When I turned the co2 open the valve would just immediately open. I thought it was coming from the connection. I taped the valve shut for now. I really hope the home brewing store I...

    Help figure out regulator leak?

    Thanks for all your help. Nothing seemed to work. I think i'll bring it into my local store to see if they can figure out what's going on. If it's not a good regulator maybe they'll be kind enough to switch it out. I was able to get it to work long enough to purge the oxygen out of my keg. So i...

    Help figure out regulator leak?

    Just checked and it seems centered, and there doesn't seem to be any cracks in it. The only thing i noticed was a small piece(less than 1mm) that seems like it was leftover from making it.

    Help figure out regulator leak?

    Is this a good enough picture? This is without the plastic washer in, but I do have it in when I hook everything up.

    Help figure out regulator leak?

    Just tried to set up my keg system. I hooked up the regulator to the co2 tank making sure the washer was in correctly. I tightened it with a wrench as much as I could, and I Hooked up tubing and everything else. I thought everything looked good, but when i go to open the Co2 tank the regulator...

    What is the 5L keg tap system used in this video?

    I am trying to find the 5L keg tap system used in this video( around the 5:40 minute mark): I am looking for a tap system that will inject CO2 into the 5L keg to prevent oxidation and allow longer storage. I don't necessarily need that specific tap, but it seems to be perfect for my needs...
