cornie problems

[bod]

as i mentioned previously, one of my cornies seems to have a leak. when i force carb'd my beer at 20 PSI, i could hear a slight hiss comming from the IN post/quick disconnect at the top, its where the wee platic screw bit is. i put a few drops of water in the groove and it started to bubble.
so i disconnected it, and the hiss got worse from the actual post itself. i think its the poppet, so i've got a couple on order from the H&G, but i'm thinking that i might need a new quickdisconnect as well.


has anyone had this sort of issue before?

[bod]

sound, think i'll give that a try first. cheers daab. managed to waste an entire widget world bottle of gas before i realised.

thats who i ordered them from. they are the same as the ones you can impoprt from the usa, but with out the hassle.

I've got some cornie spares, including poppetts, on order from H&G. I'm hoping to receive them today. If they do arrive they will have taken about two weeks to come so the moral is; don't wait until you've got a brew waiting to go into the keg before ordering spares. Also, I've got 5 kegs with about three different types of popett valve so it's not as easy as just ordering popett valves, you need to know/guess which ones they are.

luckily/thankfully both of my kegs have the manufactures name and logos etched into them, ones firebrand, the others a cornelius keg. one also says Canada Dry on it. when i got it though it was full of lemonade syrup. stank to high heaven!

they do seal so much better at high pressure.

My poppets dont really seal all that well either but if there's enough pressure it's fine.
