I got the filler from an online store, Hopdawgs.ca I've been emailing them and Chris, the owner has been really helpful. After contacting the manufacturer we may have a solution: So it looks like i'll be getting a couple new ball valves. Hopefully that answers it.

If I understand you right, I don't think so. The barbs on either side of the valve handle are different sizes so gas in is (from tank) on one side and out (to CPBF T) is the other.

I took apart the T. I didn't see/ feel any blocks in the valves or anywhere else. I hooked the gas up to the other valve this time. I can barely hear any gas coming through but I can hear it a bit. Certainly not as much as if i loosen the bolts on the T closer to the gas tank. I made a...

I bought it from an online store. I emailed them about it but they said they don't build them, they come assembled. I'll take it apart and go from there. Thanks for the reply. This was dropping down the page quickly :)

I made this terrible quality video on my phone in the dark to help explain my problem. :) http://youtu.be/0bDuG-X8WZQ

I got a CPBF recently but I can't make it work. I think there is a problem with the gas side. I can here gas going in and when I slightly loosen any tube at the 'T' i hear it. But when I open the valve I don't hear any gas coming out the bottom of the dip tube. When I turn that gas...

I've had a couple of pms about this thread so I thought I should post a follow up. Just before going out and buying all the parts for this I found a LHBS that carried custom corny keg screens. They only cost $5, which was cheaper than I could've made them. Sorry I couldn't update the...

I'm glad the OP went out and bought some. Count me in for a 'yes' vote. Before starting to keg 5 batches ago, I bottled my first 25 batches using predominantly swing tops. I had collected a batch worth of 16oz and 2 batches worth of 32 oz swing tops and almost never had a carbonation problem.

THis is not my picture but this is definitely what i was thinking. I would have to make sure that the brass fitting didn't block the end of the dip tube.

I'd like to dry hop in the keg but without a muslin bag. I just want to have them floating around in there because I feel that putting a buncha hops into a bag limits the surface to wort ratio and limits hop flavour. I know about the Surescreen but I was thinking about a DIY approach and...

I should report back to finish this thread that yes indeed in did just need more time at a higher psi. It sat at 18psi for probably 7 days and that was after a burst carb of shaking for a few mins and 30 psi for 24hrs. I have also recently installed a tee into the gas line and am currently...

I checked for leaks again and found nothign with starsan around the lid, posts and tube. Plus the levels in my co2 tank aren't dropping at a rate that would suggest a leak. Yes I can hear gas going into beer when i crank it up. I cranked it to 18 and will let it go for ac ouple of days...

Temp is 38-40 Hmmm keg leak.... Possibly because i brought these kegs back in a duffle bag on the plane and i did notice a small dent in the post. However i checked with starsan around the lid and the reg still reads 14. However,just because the reg says 14 is that the psi in the keg? Or the...

I have a Hefeweizen in a keg right now that doesn't seem to be carbonating, but it's been a bit of a ride... I kegged it one week ago, straight from primary to keg. Hit it with 30 psi for 24 hrs - I even rocked the keg for a few mins to burst carb it. Down to 12 PSI for 48 hrs but... Had...

thanks folks. CO2 is back on the IPA. The Hefe can hang out till i get a tee/ splitter / IPA is kicked.

I'll look for a tee tomorrow. In the meantime its back on 12 psi for a while.

I'm going to get a splitter soon but for right now I just need a stop gap. My fridge is at 40. The beer is an IPA. I've got 6' of serving line with a picnic tap on the end. All I need is a ball park here. Can I put the CO2 back on for 1 hr at 12psi before moving it back to beer #2 (Hefe)...

Hi all, As of right now I've got two kegs and one regulator with no splitter etc. I have one keg that has been carbed and serving it for two weeks. I unhooked the gas to burst carb another keg about 48hrs ago. It was at 30 for 24 hrs and is now at 12 psi. When should I rehook up my...

I suppose this is the best update I could give in here:

I know where they get their tanks filled - 1000 miles away. That isn't the issue. The issue was buying and/or getting a 5lb tank filled.
