beer in gauges, help

[wobbler]

I just managed to put the gas leed on the out post of my keg and beer blow back through it.

Should i pull it apart while it's still wet or do I blow it out as much as possile
via the outlet and the release valve on the gauge ?


NEVER do anything when your tired after night-shift

Send it back for a service. You HBS should set you on the right track. The trouble with servicing it yourself is that you have the high-pressure gas side involved, which means if you stuff it up you could die. Best not risk it.

this is why I like pin locks - you can't stuff it up

I wonder how much extra they charge to fit it?

[rwh]

Oh, and get yourself a check valve to stop it happening again.

Even cheaper.

Purchase some Green and Red/Blue Electrical taple.

Green = Gas

Blue/Red = Liquid.

Wrap the appropiate tape around the handles, on their respective sides

^^ the beer can still go up the gas line if the kegs don't stay upright

[rwh]

Or if the beer foams up inside the keg for any reason, such as rocking the keg to force carbonate it. Check valve is cheap insurance. It helps you relax and have a homebrew.

I forgot to burp a keg once after force carbonating

I connected gas QD without the gas on and beer shot up the gas line

It went a little way but the check valve stopped it going too far

Well worth the money - so are the john guest fittings

Cheers
