Keg setup post 2

[Radarbrew]

I hooked up my keg, the Pepsi guy GAVE me the connectors (nice!), and then carbed it. I was kinda dissapointed it hissed then stopped. I don't know what I was expecting. A day later, I found a leak. No C02, and the keg was non pressurised. It turned out it was on the connector for the tank. I rigged a paintball tank to a regulator to use as a cheaper carb, since I had a million of those dang things laying around. So, fixed the leak, carbed (and chilled) the keg by setting it outside and voila' kegged beer. Just a frosted glass and it works like a charm. My flip top bottles saw all this and were pissed.

Just tell your flippies you're saving them for special occasions.

cheaper carb???? What's that?

I fill a paintball tank for a lot less than a 10 pounder, and I don't worry about expiration dates if I go to the right place...as for the flippies, I tell them not to worry, but they keep whispering to each other and eyeing the pellet gun.
