    soda kegerator

    I will try that the next time I get it filled. Thanks. Will a bathroom scale do?

    soda kegerator

    Yes I should be having water instead of diet soda, however it is easier to get down something with flavor in the quantities I drink. There also is the cost/weight issues with mineral water. It is easier to carry a keg 5 ft from my sink to kegerator using a dolly then it is 8 cases of water...

    soda kegerator

    It is a 2x5 gallon keg system and I am refilling both kegs every week and a quarter. I have to drink a lot due to medical reasons. Thanks for the heads up about the air compressor.

    soda kegerator

    So It turns out it was the low quality syrup and not the keg or quick connects. On a side note, I am drinking a lot of diet soda and am going through a 5lb co2 tank every 2-3 weeks. Is there any downside to hoking up a air compressor instead. Keep in mind this is diet soda not beer so I don't...

    soda kegerator

    I just opened the keg to dump it and switch to the new one and I noticed there was foam inside the keg. I am stumped. is this normal? What does this mean? I have the gas currently shut off and the orange tap is disconnected. I figured before I filled the new one, I would ask here. Thanks. By the...

    no tool just by hand. As I said, I am afraid to modify any component of this system. I will wait on the new keg if that does not do it, I will try a new quick connect. thanks.

    soda kegerator

    I understand it is possible and not definite and I told them that the expert says it sounds like the gasket. I did not say you said it is the gasket. I also remember when setting up the keg, I was pounding on the top of the ball lock connector to get it connected. I did not know to pull up on...

    soda kegerator

    I told them about the gasket. They offered me a new gasket. I told them I am a novice and do not know what I am doing and that I was afraid to modify anything, then they offered me a new keg. I have not taken any kegs apart and I thought I only had to rinse out the interior and flush the lines...

    soda kegerator

    new problem. I am set up with 2 flavors coke zero sugar and willtec diet orange. The coke pours fine, the orange is all foam. I tried clamping the line partially to restrict flow but no luck. I checked my lines and I have foam in my lines all the way from the tap to the keg. Could I have a bad...

    soda kegerator

    You should only change it if it is right for you. That being said, I like the picture of data and spot. The good thing about buying boxed syrup is if it tastes like beer in your kegerator you can always go to the store and buy a case of seltzer to mix it in. Also sams club is good on returns...

    soda kegerator

    Thanks for all of the advice. If letting it sit does not work, I will definitely look into the stone option. Btw, with a username like "Positronic_Matrix" shouldn't you use a picture of Data instead of Spock. :) I really recommend you look into bag-in-box syrups instead of 2L bottles. It works...

    soda kegerator

    Thanks for the detailed explanation. It appears to be carbonating on it's own. It is just taking a little longer than I thought it would. I have a strict deadline to finish this by friday morning. Also, I am a computer nerd not a plumber. I think I will give it a few more days and see where I am...

    soda kegerator

    Thanks for the advice. I thought for sure I would be laughed at for building a kegerator for soda. I have been tasting my soda throughout the day and I noticed as the day goes on, the more fizz it has. It is still not up to normal soda standards but it is improving. About those longer/thinner...

    soda kegerator

    Hi everyone, I am new here. Would you believe, I never had a beer or any alcohol in my life. In any event, I recently built a kegerator to dispense diet soda. It works perfectly except the soda has barely any fizz to it. I have my regulator set to 35 psi and I even let it sit overnight. It...
