A two pressure regulator gives you the ability to keep kegs at different pressures.  This is a requirement to maintain two distinct carbonation levels.  It’s also handy if you want to force carbonate a keg more quickly, at a higher pressure, while maintaining your standard serving pressure on a keg that’s already being served or if you want to have a utility line for purging kegs and such.

MoreBeer Deal Roundup… LOADS of Deals Happening Now

Buy One Get One Half Off Summer Combo Pack:

From MoreBeer:

Buy One Beer Recipe Kit Get One 50% OFF!

Cambridge English Dictionary defines “Sesh” as “a period of time spent doing a lot of an enjoyable activity.”. This month’s deal definitely lives up to its namesake Summer Sesh Combo Pack! You will get a brewing Sesh and two tasty beers to enjoy during your other Sesh, be they Fishing, Disc Golf, Camping or whatever you have planned this summer!

First up in the pack is our ObSession IPA! It’s got a great hop aroma & flavor but a low ABV, so you can Sesh during the day and still be awake for those hot summer nights. We recently changed this recipe slightly, making all finishing hops Centennial (rather than a blend between Centennial and HBC-342). We kept the Simcoe® dry hop, though, as we felt this really brought a “pop” to the aroma!

Speaking of those hot summer nights, next up is our Lunar Shock, a Blue Moon® Clone. It’s an American take on the Belgian Witbier style. The wheat and oats provide a smooth and creamy mouthfeel, while sweet orange peel and coriander contribute outstanding citrus flavor and aroma. It’s a perfectly delicious and highly palatable cure for those summertime brews!

Troubleshooting DuoTight Fitting and EVABarrier Tubing Leaks + Get FREE Locking Clips

Leaks? Troubleshooting EVABarrier/DuoTight Leaks

I’ve done several pressure tests with DuoTight Fittings and EVABarrier Tubing. Each test has proven the tested components were leak free. Having said that, it’s entirely possible that you’ll have a leak. This happens with any tubing system, that’s why we… check for leaks. Some tips…

  • Check for leaks as you would if you were using standard tubing. DuoTights and EVABarrier are amazing… but not magic. They need to be installed correctly and securely throughout your system. Liquid liquids are easy to spot. Gas leaks are a little more difficult.
  • I highly suggest picking up a DuoTight Pressure Gauge. You can easily add this to your setup and use this technique for checking for gas leaks.
  • If you have a section of EVABarrier tubing that’s marred or damaged, cut off a couple inches to get a fresh end.
  • Make sure you’re pushing the EVABarrier Tubing completely in to your DuoTight Fitting.
  • Make sure you’re pulling your EVABarrier Tubing out firmly to engage the sealing mechanism.
  • DuoTight Compatible Locking Clips – I recommend using these on all DuoTight connections. They snap into place pushing the collar out, securely engaging the fitting. They also help prevent bumps and moves from disengaging the connection.
  • If you have a particular fitting that won’t seal… contact the seller or manufacturer to get a replacement. A leaking DuoTight fitting is not normal and I’m guessing your retailer will take care of you. Out of the dozens of fittings I have I’ve had 1 that was non-functional on receipt.

DuoTight Compatible Locking Clips

DuoTight Compatible Locking Clips

Valuebrew’s DuoTight Compatible Locking Clips are a great addition to any DuoTight setup.  These snap into the collar of DuoTight Fittings and lock connections in place. This makes the connection more secure and reduces the chances of leakage.

These are available in both 8mm and 9.5mm sizes

Sanitizing DuoTight Fittings – Star San & DuoTights?

I’ve gotten some feedback when it comes to DuoTights and Star San.  The materials used in DuoTight fittings – Acetal, EPDM, Stainless – are generally compatible with Star San. However that doesn’t mean that you can soak DuoTights in Star San endlessly.

Star Stan could eventually damage DuoTights (and lots of other things) given excessive exposure. Damaged fittings = potential leaks. Contact time for Star San is five minutes. That’s about how long you should leave a part sitting in Star San.

MoreBeer’s 4 Way Expandable CO2 Manifold – $37.99, limited availability + free ship eligible & Hands on Review

4 Way Gas Manifold via MoreBeer

This manifold allows you to split a single tank into multiple runs and control each with an independent ball valve.  Each ball valve also contains a check valve that stops one beer from backflowing into another line.  Pressure changes can cause this to happen with a simple T-type system.  This manifold prevents the issue.  Grows with you!  This system can also expand as needed by adding an additional outlet.

Check out my Hands on Review of this great system

More Info

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

Manifolds allow you to have one CO2 tank with multiple lines. Each line can be turned off individually without affecting flow to other kegs. Each ball valve contains a check valve that ensures no beer or gas can flow between the two kegs. The barbs are all 5/16″, standard for gas line in the beer industry.

 

Limited Availability Deal of the Day: As of this posting, this is marked down to $37.99 as a MoreBeer Deal of the Day. Shipping is also free to addresses in the contiguous US with most $59 Orders. Availability: This is available today only, while supplies last.

Reminder: Time to Clean Beer Lines

About this time every month we post a reminder to clean beer lines. This helps if you clean monthly or everything other month.

Clean kegerator lines are a key part of serving delicious beer. Bacteria and mineral build in lines can cause off flavors, quick loss of head, under-carbonated beer due to rapid co2 loss and lack of legs forming on the inside of your beer glass.

How Often Should You Clean Lines?

The Draught Quality Beer Manual says… every two weeks.

That recommendation is for a commercial operation.  What about homebrewers?  We serve far fewer beer on our kegerators, but on the other hand, we can have been on tap and in lines 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.  Considering all of this, my recommendation is every 1 to 2 months.
