Hey fellas,
Got myself a keg king kegerator for Xmas last year, and it's almost time to keg a brew for the first time, I'm actually planning on doing it tonight.
After setting up the kegerator a few days ago and testing for leaks, I've discovered a small one, where exactly I'm not sure.
What are the best methods to find this leak? All connections on the gas bottle end have been disconnected and reconnected with plumbing tape.
Ive heard spraying the connections with soapy water can work, as you see the bubbles.
At the disconnect end, can I just dump those in a tub of water to see if there are leaks there?
I am running a non return valve from CB. My connections are the JG 'style' connectors that came with the kegerator, so I suspect these could be the issue.
I am also testing with the disconnects NOT connected to the kegs.
One more thing, if I keg the brew tonight, but can't carbonate it right away, will that be an issue? Am I risking infection? I was planning on connecting it, setting it at serving pressure (around 10-12 psi) and leaving for a week. If I do this with the current leak I'll have to keep upping the regulator to maintain pressure, and of course waste gas.
Any help appreciated.
