Hi all. Attached is a very short video of my first kegging attempt pour. Here are some details. Please feel free to offer any opinions and ask any questions.
I decided to try water first. I do have a beer almost ready, a Brooklyn Summer Ale clone, but it is not quite ready to be kegged yet hence the water experiment. 3 gallon keg. Mini fridge temp is about 40F. 5 feet air line, 10' beer line. Carbed at, what I think was 11-12psi for almost two weeks. I say what I think because I beleive my gauge may be slightly broken, hence another reason I experimented with water. I do have a new gauge coming. Tubing is all brand new, faucet is new. Everything is new except the fridge itself but that does not matter.
I think the pour is pretty rapid. I did turn the psi down to almost off and got the same pour pretty much. I think the gauge itself is probably a little bit off as sometimes the needle sticks a little but I did play with it and did my best to make sure it worked. The carbonation itself seemed fine for what it's worth but to me the pour itself was rapid.
Questions? Thoughts?
