Kegs arrived, 30l

[darkonnis]

You still got that keg lifter in the spares store barneey? Might just have found a use for it.

Surely 6 kegs is alright though? You only have 6 taps no?

[barneey]

Its a commercial larder style fridge so quite a bit of room approx. 560wx680x1390 tall mm (no shelves or mouldings to get in the way). Just tried a few other ideas but the max will be the 50`s and 4 20`s but will now be able to get two gas bottles in there, one mixed and one co2 + the gas board etc.

As for lifting a 50ltr I don't have any real problems with that.

Hope you haven't got to wait too long Clive.

My gas is going outside, the bottle is taller than my fridge!

Very nice.

If I force carbonate at around 15PSI is it safe to leave a party tap connected at this pressure?

The party tap is pushed onto the end of the beer line (barbed type). I dont want to risk loosing beer

[darkonnis]

Yeah thats fine, or atleast I've had no trouble. I accidently had a valve open and put about 3 bar in when I first got it and it just forced beer out of the tap until the pressure dropped.

[leedsbrew]

hey chaps! how much are the 20L ones going for? ta

[bobsbeer]

£54 plus vat or £64.80 inc vat

[alexlark]

Cheers darkonnis. Hopefully be setting up tonight

PARTY TAP come on man get with the shiny

[alexlark]

Ha ha. I know, I know...

[alexlark]

Right, bit of help needed. Got my first keg filled but I seem to have a co2 leak from around the keg connector? I dont know what to expect but the keg connector seems loose to me when its engaged, it seems to be easy to sort of undo even once engaged. Is this normal?

Thanks

[gnutz2]

No not normal, does the connector have 2 rubber seals on it, one on the body and a smaller one on the fork that moves into the spear?

[alexlark]

Yes, ive got 3 connectors. They all have 2 rubber pieces on them. I have noticed that the 2 spears are slightly different from eachother. The 2 tabs on the one are slightly tapered whereas the other isnt. The other one seems a more snug fit.

What about being able to turn the connector anti clockwise. It seems to pop out??

[gnutz2]

Just tried and yes it quite easily turns anticlockwise even with the lever engaged so would popout if I turned it any more (dont fancy a beer shower though), absolutely no leaks though.

Sounds like you have a dodgy outer co2 seal. Although it would be strange if all 3 were dodgy
