Just tried swapping the taps. Same thing. I looks like the shank is the issue

Replaced the shank or tap or both?

i have just setup a second tap and having major leakage issues. its leaking from the shank. some pictures attached. its a perlick 525 flow control with short shanks from a site sponsor, as soon as i plug in the beer line, beer pours out where it connects to the shank. awesome. i have two taps...

Yeah this is what i do too. once you get used to your system then work backwards to figure out what you want. there is a link from a regular to this forum on this but i cant find it for you. essentially, figure out how much you want to end up with, how much you loose in the mash, boil, trub etc...

yeah i do the same as wbosher. for the mash i cover my 50l pot with a sleeping bag. holds for 90mins with 1-2 deg loss max.

Hang on to your $10 bucks NickJD, 24hrs later and there are no leaks. here is the old o-ring i took off, as you can see it looks perfect??? go figure.... i'll keep an eye out over the next few days but fingers crossed this has fixed the issue thanks everyone above for all the...

I'm not 100% convinced. I removed the o-ring, looked perfect. Can't post pics as I'm on the iPhone. I replaced it anyway, left the beer out disconnect on and will see what happens in the next day or two.

yeah it could very well be the problem. I'll check when i get home and post the results, if it is the case ill send NickJD $10 worth of postage stamps :P

no, i cant see. usually after 24-48 hrs there is a very small amount of beer on the floor of the keezer, which very gradually gets worse over time. removing the beer out disconnect when not in use stops the problem so im only assuming that the beer line straight on the barbs at either end is the...

hi all, i have 2 ball lock kegs going into a 3" shank (this one) and out of perlick 525 flow contolls. somewhere between the disconnect and the shank i have a small leak, currently the 6mm hose is connected to the disconnect and barb with a hose clamp on each end as tight as it can go. im not...

G'day Peter, I have sent you a PM

Live q&a, some great conversation and recipes http://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/15mq...iter_and_craft/

As the title says, heaps of bottles to get rid of. amongst the pile of 330ml bottles i found 2 dozen old 750ml CUB bottles i didn't even know i had. bit dirty / dusty outside but fine inside. all are crown seal. pickup central coast NSW donations of beer on pickup will be accepted.

Yeah thanks crusty. Didn't even think about submerging the post. I'll just have to be patient with it I guess. I hope the gas bottle isn't almost empty, it's a 6kg unit and only the second keg! Futz, no bubbles, using perlick taps, straight connection.

Bumping for the evening crowd. Appreciate any help

new issue: had a beer in the keg for the last 4 days at 2.5-3 deg i set it on my serving pressure which is about 70kpa and leave it. poured a beer today for the first time to try it out and shes totally flat;. no head, no apparent carbonation in the beer. dead. i tried 3-4 different beer...

Thanks Doc. As I said, smell and taste is great. Can't wait to get it kegged. Will follow your advice above, at what point here should I dry hop? Was going to do it now after the bulk of primary ferment is done.

Nah will let her settle out. Cheers mate

Thanks for the replies wagastew and carnie. Wasn't planning on secondary, but if it will help?
