I did maybe two more kegs after posting this and gave up. I could never get it to match the bite I get from restaurant soda. Either 35 psi isn’t enough for me or it was losing carbonation at the pour. I suspect, though, that 39 ft was not nearly enough. Especially given that my kegs are all...

I understand but I would encourage you to not let this discourage you. Ever since I figured out it was star san related I have had no issues. I have actually been on a beer break for a while and still have kegs hooked up to gas from last year with zero drop in pressure or any failures or even...

I’m 95% sure it’s due to starsan. Idk what your ratio was but I attributed my issues to a heavier ratio. I got new fittings, sprayed them with a very light mixture just initially and haven’t had an issue. I didn’t do a leak test on the gas. I just shut my house down as quiet as possible and put...

Is this a duo tight thing or a John Guest thing that works with duo tight? I haven't seen these.

I know Bobby is a fan. I think, anyway. This is the first leak issue I have had. The other issue was deteriorating fittings due to a heavy starsan mix. Neither of which I can really fault Kegland for. It is user error, really. Now that this is fixed it should be gtg.

This is the second duo tight issue I have had and am considering going the vinyl route, down the road. The 20lb tank was bigger and I never heard gas moving. The little 5 lb tank I have for backup makes it easier to hear leaks. I feel like such an idiot that it was something so simple. But I am...

Hey folks, I am going to try and explain this the best I can. I lost a whole 20 lb tank of co2 due to a leak in my gas system. I have 4 duo tight inline regulators (white plastic). The way I problem solved this was first to hook up my backup tank and do the soapy water trick. Didn't see any...

I’ve noticed this with my silicone tubing, as well. The part submerged turned completely white like it was dipped in white paint.

I had the same “burn” look on mine. I’m just gonna order through Williams, again.

It may not be bleach but concentrated star San absolutely bleaches.

I’m curious, did you by chance notice a “musty” smell from the affected fittings?

I need to be clear: duotight fittings are great products. This issue which I am 99% sure is starsan related, is not really their fault. They have written somewhere not to use bleach to clean their fittings. I don’t think starsan classifies as bleach but maybe they mean for this to be included...

I brewed one last month and put the the pumpkin in a hop bag during mash. I squeezed it after mashing and a lot of it seemed to be in a more liquid state. I squeezed as much juice out of it as I could. Theoretically, this means it was in the boil too. When I racked to secondary I could...

Yes I’m leaning toward the starsan being the cause. I also suspect I was loose with the mix and made too strong a batch in my spray bottle at the time. As far as spray bottles go I’ve always used glass ones and love them. The spray part, however, is obviously plastic but it seems to be holding...

Yea these literally disintegrated. Like part of it was dust on my fingers. I’m going to assume it was starsan and just avoid it. I am still looking into John guest fittings, though.

Maybe I made it too concentrated? Who knows. It sucks, though. They are pretty cheap fittings but if I have to do it every year that will add up.

It is possible that starsan did it though because now that I think of it I did leak tests with starsan in a spray bottle. Maybe that did it. I didn’t have to leak test the liquid line with starsan, obviously. Idk I’m hesitant to buy more but if it’s something simple like starsan I can just...

I got them from Williams brewing almost exactly a year ago.

No I’ve never soaked these in starsan ever. It has to be something with the co2 because the fittings on the liquid side are completely fine.

Thanks for the reply. Do you know what size JG fitting would replace the 8mm duotight fittings?
