Checking for Draft System CO2 Leaks – Using The Pressure Gauge Method

check for co2 leaks

For the most part, checking for keg liquid and CO2 leaks is pretty straightforward.  Is beer leaking?  Then you’ve got a liquid leak.  Is there six inches of beer in your kegerator?  That one’s really easy to spot.  If beer is shooting out like a geyser, you’ve got a… fast leak. 🙂

For kegerator CO2 leaks, it’s a generally a little more work, but still pretty easy… spray everything with Star San solution (diluted of course) and look for bubbles.

I’ve added several similar workshop lights [different model, specs and manufacturer] to the area and it’s made a huge difference.  Instead of what seemed like a cave, I’m now in a well lit space.  Those have made a big improvement, made it easier and more pleasant to work in my brewery.

Firestone Walker Brewing Company Pale 31 Kits

Part of MoreBeer’s Brewmaster Series.  This is THE recipe straight from the brewer.


From the beer description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

  • This BrewMaster Series kit was scaled down to a homebrew batch size in collaboration with the brewmasters at Firestone Walker Brewing Company
  • Light in body and color, but strong in hop flavor and aroma
  • Includes Fuggles, Chinook, Cascade, and Centennial hops
  • Estimated ABV: 4.5%
  • Estimated IBUs: 13
  • Makes 5 gallons of finished beer

Fact: Firestone Walker has been named “Mid-Size Brewery of the Year” four times. Another fact: Pale 31 has won 10 Gold Medals since 2003 (yeah, that’s one a year!).

The Pale 31 California Pale Ale is what some refer to as “The Perfect American Pale Ale”. Light in body and color, but strong in hop flavor and aroma, this is one of those beers that most beer lovers will always want on tap. After having one, you’ll most likely want another, and being under 5% ABV makes this a little more possible! The recipe consists of our ultralight liquid malt extract, Munich malt, and dextrin for added mouthfeel. The hops are a perfect blend of Fuggles, Chinook, Cascade and Centennial.

Firestone Walker’s head brewer Matt Brynildson had worked on his Pale Ale recipe for a long time before being perfectly satisfied. We know that once you taste this beer, you’ll agree with us that his hard work has definitely paid off!

Don’t forget to purchase The Brewing Network’s “The Perfect American Pale Ale” DVD too! Matt Brynildson discusses water modification, recipe formulation, and techniques on how to brew Pale 31! To read more, click here.

Kegerator Beer Line Temperatures & Reducing Foam with a Recirculating Fan

Back in 2014, I had what I would call a reasonably well put together and balanced kegerator.  In spite of that, for years, I had dealt with the dreaded first foamy pint of beer.  After that pint of beer, beer would pour great.  That is until a significant delay between pours – overnight or a few hours.


Related Resources – Foam Control & Kegerator Balancing


Diagnose Other Issues


A Closer Look at Kegerator Beer Line Temps

cln_img_5476The setup.  I have two temperature probes in my kegerator.  One is zip-tied to the top of a beverage line.  The other is zip-tied to a can of beer.  That’s how I have kept the probe in my kegerator for a long time with the thinking that the mass of the can of beer will help to stabilize temperature readings and give overall stable and accurate readings.  That can is sitting on the compressor hump of my Kenmore Deep Freeze (8.8 Cu ft Model 16932, out of production).  That puts it about mid keg.

Beer Line Temps – No Recirculation Fan

The cause of the problem is pretty clear.  Heat rises.  That means the top of your kegerator is going to be warmer than the bottom of your kegerator.  That warmer beer foams when it comes out.  The faucet and shank are also warmer.  That warmth adds to the problem.

How much is the temperature variance?  Of course, this will vary from setup to setup and climate to climate.  I was relatively shocked by the temperature difference in my own kegerator.

img_temps

The top reading about mid keg and the bottom reading is the top the top of my beer lines.  These are about 22″ apart.  This graph shows a point in time variance between the two of 14.9 degrees F.   My beer is about the temperature I want it, but the top of my serving line is much warmer.  That difference in temperature causes the first pint to have too much foam.  Pours that happen soon after the first are fine.  The tubing, shank and beer are relatively cool.

KegLand Core 360 Mini C02 Regulator – Works w/Sodastream OR 16 gram cartridges – Save $25!

KegLand Core 360 Mini C02 Regulator from William's Brewing

KegLand Core 360 Mini C02 Regulator from William’s Brewing

More Info

From the product description, check product page for current description, price and availability:

The Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator from KegLand is extremely versatile, and can be used with either a Sodastream® C02 Bottle or a 16 gram C02 cartridge.

Unlike other regulator designs, the Mini 360 Core does not puncture or open the C02 cartridge or cylinder until after the C02 source is screwed onto the regulator. After securing the C02 source to the regulator, you then tighten the plunger which pierces the cartridge, or opens the Sodastream pin. The result is no wasted gas when you install a cartridge.

It also has a choice of two disconnect orientations, and features a DuoTight compatible 6.5mm hose barb outlet which can also accept ¼” inner diameter gas tubing. Also included is a Female Flare outlet so you can screw this regulator directly onto a threaded Ball Lock Disconnect if you prefer.

The pressure relief valve releases at 65 PSI, but you can switch this out for a different range by using our red 35 PSI relief valve or our 100 PSI grey relief valve.

The Mini Gauge is heavily protected with brass on all sides to prevent damage when dropping. The gauge itself is a standard KegLand Mini Gauge, and you can swap out another KegLand Mini gauge with a 2mm hex wrench if you would prefer a different range than 0-60 PSI.

Includes:

1 x Mini 360 Core Actuator Regulator with Sodastream® thread

1 x 360° 6.5mm duotight compatible hose barb

1 x 360° FFL Fitting for MFL Disconnects

1 x Port end cap

1 x 65psi Green PRV

1 x 16 Gram Threaded C02 Cartridge Adapter

Note: This also fits Leland® brand 74 gram threaded cartridges if you order our adapter item G60. It does not fit 74 gram Brewer’s Edge® C02 cartridges.

Note: Pictured Sodastream® 60 Liter C02 Bottle not included, these are available at many home stores and also exchanged at many stores.


 

This is… DuoTight compatible and it works with Sodastream tanks and 16 gram cartridges!  It’s worth noting that DuoTights are not a requirement if you’re not currently using that great system.

  • For a limited time this is on sale for $54.99. That’s whopping $25 off list.
  • Shipping is free or reasonably priced flat rate to addresses in the contiguous US depending on your order size for most items.

Flash Sale, Save on FDA Rated EPDM O-Rings – Low Permeability, Less Oxygen & Off-Flavors

Valuebrew has announced the availability of bulk EPDM o-rings for homebrewers.  EPDM is a favorite of many pro brewers for certain applications. Until now, these have not been available to homebrewers, or at least easily available. EPDM has some real advantages over silicone. One of the big ones is a much lower permeability. That means they seal better and since they’re less porous they are more resistant to absorbing off-smells and off-flavors.

They are FDA Rated for food use and NSF61 certified. As of this posting, post, dip tube, lid and internal QD options are available in 10, 25 and 50 count options. Valuebrew has struggled mightily with availability and they’ve already made some indications of potential issues with new EPDM offerings. In particular, the lid o-ring description says they received a small shipment.

FDA Rated EPDM O-Rings!

Flash Sale: Coupon code epdmflash takes 15% off Valuebrew’s EPDM lineup for a limited time.

More about food safe materials:

For whatever reason, it’s difficult to find food safe keg o-rings.  Maybe some of the o-rings that are available are food safe, but very few are actually labeled as such.

The fact is we’re putting beer (food) in our kegs and we should be using food safe materials whenever we can.  More Info: Food Safe Replacement Keg O-Rings
