A little advice on kegging

[ZZ]

When connecting CO2 to your system and you can hear a small flow of gas, it may not be a gas line leaking. It could easily be CO2 flowing through your regulator. Your system could be operating quite normally; meaning, the CO2 could be moving through the lines and into your keg which would then force beer out of your tap. That scenario would happen if you happen to have left your tap OPEN when you connected the gas tank. It's amazing how large of an area of your kitchen beer can cover.

Ask me how I know...

That sucks brotha, I had a similar issue one year. The tap froze in the garage, and one of my buddies left it in the open position, when it thawed I had a garage full of beer!

I tapped a very carbonated keg of beer the other day
The tap was a portable one and just had a push fitting on the tap end
Pushed tap on keg
Beer line flew out of push fitting and then proceeded to flap around squirting beer at me

For one second, I did think, hmm nice beer
Then the brain kicked in and I disconnected it from the keg

A nice coating all over the garage

** Note for Brain ***

Remember to purge of excess gas &
Stop using push on fittings, there crap with wheat beers
