First post as a HBT member, from Grimsby Ontario in Canada!
Been brewing for about 2 years now and have spent some serious time lurking the forums. I must say, the information on this website is fantastic and has really helped up my brewing game from cheap kits to delicious all-grain beer!
Anyway, I recently decided to make the leap into kegging, and purchased two used 5 gallon ball-lock cornys, one 5lb CO2 tank with a regulator and a couple of random accessories (all used stuff off of Kijiji).
Yesterday I had the CO2 tank with regulator attached sitting on the floor when a family member walked by and knocked the whole assembly over. It wasn't a terribly hard fall but is it likely that my dual gauge regulator is all out of whack? Is there any way to check the accuracy? Don't worry about it?
Also, when I attached the quick disconnect from my picnic tap onto the "out" side, on both kegs, gas from the pressurized kegs was blowing out right at the disconnect. Would this suggest my disconnect piece is shot as it happened with both kegs? Both kegs were nicely holding about 15 PSI when I purchased them...
Any help would be very much appreciated!
