can you give me any more info on the 'ross' method?? mate, your about 8 kegs ahead of me... i'm only just trying to start kegging, so everything's new to me! :huh: D

justin, do you run your valve/head in the on position permanetnly? I'm wondering if turning it on/off regularly may contribute to the leak issue? D

Guys, sorry to pull up an old thread, but I have been going down this path recently, and have come across a hurdle that I hope you guys can help me with... I was talking with a extingushser service place, and they directed me to a bloke who had apparently done this to a few bottles... He...
