Subject: Kegerator Balancing & Leaking: Question
|
Bought a Kegerator from a yard sale last week.
Seems beer is leaking from the keg, cant find a place where it's
getting out of the keg. Only a bit of foam is protruding from the top.
Also, I cant seem to get the keg carbonated correctly & the beer is
about 90% foam.
I've bought a new regulator, new beer line, new air line, new
faucet... waiting for it in the mail..
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks.

Great links, I really appreciate it, I took the keg back and swapped
it out. Also, bought a new regulator & new air/beer lines & a new
faucet.. all seems to be going well now. I've got nice golden brown
beer with about 1 inch head.. so.. I'm a happy man. Thanks for the
links, and the math behind ballancing is fun... I'm a math guy. ;)

No problemo. I keep a "beer stuff" document with about 50 or so good links
to nice to know info. And I'm a math guy too. My favorite thing in
highschool was to prove that 2=1. Several times I hid the divide by zero so
well that the teacher couldn't find it. :-)

If your keg is foaming you may need to rebuild it or at the least reseal it.
Mike has some good stuff, about half way down for keg rebuilding

If it's foaming at the tap you may need to balance your system.
