Hello all -
My kegging system from www.ebrew.com arrived today and, so far, I'm very pleased. 3 questions:
They came sealed with a few PSI, and when I released it to open it up I got a blast of air that smelled very sweet - if I had to guess, I'd say it was old pepsi syrup. Upon inspection - the inside of the keg itself is immaculate. Not a speck of anything inside, dip and gas tubes are clean, etc. I haven't replaced the orings yet - I have to get some brew fermented first.
1) Should I be worried about this smell? Should I just clean it again, replace the orings and know that after a few batches the only thing I'll smell is beer?
2) The regulator has got a on/off valve on it. I purchased a check valve with my kit - where does this get installed?
3) The beverage dip tube is REALLY long in 2 of the 3 kegs. Should I cut an inch or so off?
Thanks for your help.
