I put the Red in for my first 5 gallon Keg! :D

Is it normal if I got an erection? Just askin, that's all. :shock:

In answer to your question:

Yes, but if it last for more than 4 hours seek medical attention immediately. :!:

Yeah so the first keg looks like it's going to just last a week and a half. :lol:

At least I'll have it empty for the nut brown.

Saw this with a regulator now. I don't know if it's new or I had just over looked it. Uses a bigger charge too.

I was throughly cleaning an old keg for the first time and when I took the gas IN poppet off, the short gas tube was actually a translucent pink plastic instead of stainless. It was in good shape (actually in better shape than the other stainless). This keg is actually a firestone keg not a corneilus keg. Is this common?

John M referred me to Chris N's thread. Thought it would be a good idea to drag it back to front page for any novice (or more accurately, soon to be novice) keggers.

Here is an image I made while rebuilding some kegs showing all the parts of a keg and the McMaster-Carr replacement part numbers.

I just filled four swing-tops from my keg for the first time, with a piece of tubing and a stopper. How easy and cool was that!

Since having my last two brews (oatmeal stout and vienna lager) on tap, I am now a keg convert. I WILL NEVER GO BACK TO BOTTLING!!!
