I'm going to get some o-rings in my adjacent city tomorrow. I couldn't find the internal o-rings here. But does that still makes sense if (as I've explained in the first post) when I put a non-carbonated brew in my keg, at whatever dispensing pressure from 2psi to 20psi, and whatever length of...

I do keep it fully on. Yes I know that too. But as you've stated later, it will in a long time lead to less carbonated beverage, as the CO2 in the liquid will balance out of the headspace vapour pressure. They're super clean and super cold. No difference. I've done it. What I get is a super...

I I don't really think my problem is the incorrect amount of carbonation as found out by dipping glass into the keg and drinking that one (It's amazingly well tasting. People go absolutely gaga over it) but the fact that all the carbonation basically just comes out of the liquid in my pouring...

I kind of gave up for a while. But I'm on it again. Yes, when I say that I reduce the pressure to 1.5 or 2psi, I mean I do it by venting the keg. I stop the gas flow from the cylinder and then vent the head pressure to reduce it to 2 psi, and then I've used 8+ feet of single 1/4'' inch tubing...

I'm really sorry but I did not at all understand what you've suggested here except that you've suggested to use the material that the calculator calls for. But I've messed around with the calculator a lot and found that the coefficient of friction isn't a very important variable. Even a 10x...

Yes, that's exactly what's happening. The liquid inside is carbonated (when I dip a glass and get the liquid out) but as soon as I get it out via the system, it's super foamy and flat af. What is an alternative to using the quick disconnects though? It does seem to me that there's some problem...

Yup. Exacts same thing.

Yeah the vendor said the material is nylon. I'm sure it has a different coefficient of friction than vinyl, but I've messed around with the calculator a lot and found that the coefficient of friction isn't a very important variable. Even a 10x change in that number either way doesn't change the...

Well, I've tried opening the tap to its full as well. Same result. The bad o-ring could be an issue and honestly seems like the most plausible thing at this point of time now that I've tried everything else. However, I have two kegs and they both give the same result. I don't also know what...

I see. However, my lines are narrower than 3/16''. They're 0.15'' as against 0.1875'' (3/16''). The calculation says that I should need not more than 7 feet for 14 psi. I have more than that, and I've tried dispensing at lower pressures as well as I've written above. I've also tested the in-line...

Hi, people! I'm a homebrewer in India. But I've been brewing Kombucha (a fermented tea) instead of beer for now. I retrofitted an old fridge with a beer tap to make a kegerator of sorts. I brew my Kombucha in glass jars, and then pour it in a used pin lock corny keg I picked up from a store. I...
