Kegging

NEED TO PURCHASE:
Ball Valve connectors x 1 gas
Ball Valve connectors x 1 beer
keg post O-Rings (spares) loof for cracks etc.
co2 line
beer line? can I use the one I have ....need to look.


ADVANTAGES:
-less to clean (1 keg vs. 48 bottles)
-can select amount of pressure (carbonation) with regulator


TIPS:
-spray starsan on everything
-when an o-ring is replaced, replace the other one as well
-inspect often (gas can leak from poor o-ring condition and lose all of the gas over one night)
-look in to KEG WASHER
-Lube Keg when equipment is warm
-BLC Beer line Cleaner (caustic cleaner)
-can naturally carbonate by adding sugar directly to the keg
-pin lock or ball lock? Ball lock is more available.

PROCESS:
connect, run to 10-15 psi to check for leaks and then release some pressure.
