Show me how you guys are taking care of this crap!

Well, that pic was taken a couple of months ago, but if memory serves, it was a Dunkel.

That's borderline ****.

Another reference I heard at a homebrew con seminar was you want your pint glass to fill in about 8-10 seconds. I keep my keezer really cold (35F) and I've iterated my way between pressure at the regulator inside my keezer, and length of 4mm ID EvaBarrier lines. It took a lot of tweaks, but I have about 6 ft of line, I don't get excess foaming, I like the carbonation level, and I fill my pint glass in about 10 seconds. I also did some strategic positioning with an air circulation fan to blow right on the long 6" shanks that stick inside the keezer collar. That has kept them within 2 degrees of the temperature at the keg midpoint level.

Funny that I can make the same pic relevant for 2 different topics in 2 days. Loop those suckers and lock them down w/some velcro ties.

Off topic....

How do you like those Kegland keg disconnects? Worth considering?

I do the zip ties like @grampamark .

No pic, I'm old school, also lazy. You'll have to use your imagination*.

I haven’t used them enough to have a really strong opinion just yet but..worth mentioning.

The poppets do indeed look a bit beefier which Kegland also mentions in their video.

My assumption is that these will be slightly less likely to clog due to not being constricted as much by the tiny passage common in most flare disconnects.

I think..being able to service these by hand will be a little more convenient than the standard type, but that remains to be seen. It isn’t like taking out a screwdriver takes up that much time.

One thing I’ve noticed is that not as much line is necessary to insert into these Kegland ball locks vs the add on connectors. Only a matter of mm, but??

I definitely like the 90 degree bend now, vs standard ball locks + connector. I had that with the stainless connectors I had as well, but those were pricey to get enough for all the kegs in the kegerator! I needed to get 2 more pairs, but going this route was definitely more cost effective at least short term. Hopefully long term too!
