Noob What Craps On A Bit
Yep, just had a night of geeky fun checking the tare of all my kegs and writing it on them. So much easier.
Drinking a stubby at the mo, will have to wait a few minutes for a new pour. Yeah was thinking the other day about line length or lack of with mini kegs, wonder how they would go with more pick up tube twirled around the bottom?, i think with carbonation under control shouldn't need to, as the other one pours ok set at around 8psi, so maybe too much pressure, will find out shortly.mtb said:The problem with using these minikegs in a setup like yours is, you've got no length of beer line between your keg and tap. Most online forums/resources discussing kegging will assume that you have beer line - and beer line introduces resistance, so when your beer flows out the keg and to your tap, it "slows" down and pours nicely. Without beer line, you'll pour way faster, and all that nice carbonation is probably escaping immediately - hence your flat pour.
By upping/reducing your pressure so much it's hard to say whether you've overcarbed. Set your pressure to 5psi and pour a glass and let me know how it looks.
Hi Ealing, the one on the right is pouring ok and that's where i leave the control, i think they help, wouldn't know for sure as don't have a normal tap, at 8psi pours ok. Stupid me, put gas on and poured, foam, could hear the gassing going on inside the keg, turned gas off started to pour ok, so will just release pressure or pour periodically.EalingDrop said:Did the flow control help?
Just keep pouring until you need to put the gas in. A few weeks ago I managed to dispense half a 5L keg on it's own (forgetting to bring the Mini Reg), and since then managed to dispense the rest of it also without additional gas.
Hey peekaboo, someone else said they use a picnic tap with no problems, maybe they also carbonate correctly, i think that's a big secret with mini kegs and very little hose length.peekaboo_jones said:This is why I've got a bronco tap and if all continues to go well I'll get a good quality Pluto gun

I have ordered a couple of bronco's form China, complete with disconnects and line for $15.00. Maybe a little more idiot proof, if not I'm the idiot that did $15.00. :lol:
