Kegging Q & A

[beanstalk]

Hey folks. Still haven't got c02 sorted but hopefully soon. If I prime a batch in a corny in the garage and use it to condition, how long would the beer keep?

[Qs]

So got my holes drilled, taps installed, new problems arise. I have a JG fitting on the shank for the taps but its leaking when the door of the fridge moves because it changes the angle of the tubing going into it. Any tips or tricks to solve this problem?

[johnrm]

Is it leaking when the door is open or closed?
Make sure the o-ring in the JG is pristine.
Do a fresh cut on your beer line in case there are any scraggy bits.
Maybe use a bit of KY or similar to seal it.
If line is going straight in to tap, you could add a right-angle JG so that there is less pressure on the joint.

Beanstalk, what part of Donegal are you from? The guy I got the Co2 cylinders from does the gas for the Leisure Center in Enniskillen and is up every 3 weeks or so. I met him there last week to get mine. Let me know if you want his details?

Hi , I have just got into home brewing and al interested in kegging.
I was going to order a couple of Kegs from HBC, but co2 seems difficult to get.
That guy from Northern Cryogenics seems to be near me, how much does he charge for a cylinder/ refill?

Hi PCBrewer. Welcome. Where are you based? He has a depot in Dungannon but can deliver. Its £40 for a 6kg cylinder and £10 a refill.

I am in tyrone.

I have only bewed a couple of All grain batches so far, which i have bottled, but kegging looks the way to go!

Are  there any thread/ places that sells second hand equipment?
I have stared brwing with a basic electric boiler & cooler box mash tun system, but i would like to up grade it, without breaking the bank!

what do you need to connect the regulator to the quick connect for the keg?

[auralabuse]

You need a bsp fitting with barn  to the size of that outlet, looks like half inch

Lads what do ye recommend for hose clamps/clips for gas and beer line?

Jubilee/worm drive clamps are obviously around but was wondering if there's a tidier/better version?
