  • I have been chasing a leak in my CO2 system in my keezer. I finally decided to update all the lines and install 2 new manifolds. Check out my project.

    Dude, your home made manifolds look legit! Finding a co2 leak can be maddening! I’d be tempted to just change it all too. Cheers 🍻

      I wished it still worked but when I lost the second 5# tank I was over it

    Thanks for showing us the SJ keezer apron in detail. I don't know when I'll get a keezer but I'll definitely want to use the slip down design when I do. Oh, and the spike tool was a good idea too for those threaded QDs. I finally tried out the floating dip tube in one of my kegs and was pretty happy with it all the way to the bottom. Stay warm. Cheerz.

      That’s one of the great things about this community…..passing along tips and tricks we get from others. I’m glad to hear the floating dip tube worked for you. I have almost every keg swapped over to them now. I just picked up a FLOTit style. Just a bit more expensive but love it so far. You can get it on Amazon. Got a screen on the end of it to prevent hop debris from getting clogged. Sláinte

    If my beermeister ever kicks the bucket, I'll probably go keezer. Some really great tips in this video. Thanks for bringing us along for the ride. Love the setup with the taps on the other side of the wall and keezer tucked away. Cheers!

      Appreciate that Matt. So far so good. Holding pressure and no leaks. 🙏

      Great tip on splitting the manifold, one on each side. It certainly cleans up the gas lines. Instead of a manifold, I chose to install secondary regulators. This allows me to add differing pressures to differing styles of beer. I've been thinking it's time to replace my beer lines, maybe I'll split my regulator bank in half as you did.

      So far so good. It’s holding pressure much better now. I was furious losing 2 five pound canisters of CO2. Sláinte

    Great video. I've gone thru the same leak problems! I've lost a couple 15# tanks at one point, so now I only keep a 5#.. any leaks in the 5# is less maddening.
    One thing with the ready made manifolds, I dunked mine fully in water to check for leaks. I found that plug on the end had a slow lead and that one of the valves don't completed turn off the gas either. I have a video short on instagram or here I think,

      Great tip! I never thought of dunking the manifold like that. I used to work in a gas station and that's how we fixed flat tires. Dunk them to find the link. Love that!! Slainte!!
