Gas bottle leak

[Gareth Collier]

Hi guys, quick one have a mixed gas bottle that I had fully topped up. After connecting to my regulator next day Unfortunately bottle leaked some how and was empty. I belive there is a white nylon washer inside where the regulator connects. Not can't remembe if it was in as I found it fell out. Dose anyone know if this would be the the cause of the leak. If so dose anyone know the correct nylon washer I would need. Many thanks.

Yes you are right, if the white nylon washer was not in place that could have caused your leak. I’m not sure what the exact size is but I have bought them from beverage supply stores, welding supply stores and Amazon. I usually but several at a time because it seems like you always need them at the worst time.

Cheers for the reply. Managed to find where I placed the washer thankfully or would have been a bugger. Just exchanged my empty bottle 70/30 so all good. Only thing is lost a lot of absorbed gas so have to wait a bit.

What you tapping at the moment. Just bought these today. The hazy one is one of my favourite really recommended.

omfg,
wow , that bar is incredible.

those are toucan kits right. i never brewed those but have done a lot of muntons in the past. i have heard good things about those kits on the sister site.

you can speed up the nitro by carbing with co2 to 1-2 vols then switching to nitro .

i have pale ales on tap now.

again great outdoor set up!
