I leave the main valve on my CO2 tank closed at all times, just open to give a shot to keg, never more than 15psi, then disconnect and close again..
The carbing I did natural.
After a shot like that, it'll pour about 10 beers, then I just give another quick shot when the pour starts to get weaker.
I've gone through about 6 kegs so far, and the fill needle on the tank is still where it was when I got it.
I figure, carb and condition like I did with bottles ... hell I got four kegs in the pipeline ... I'm going to get a couple more, and stop bottling completely. Right now, if the keg I have tapped isn't empty when the latest fermenter is done, I'll have to bottle it ... as the other three kegs are conditioning.
I figure with 6 kegs, I could do a 5gal brew every week, and even if I only 2-2-2 and don't go longer, I wouldn't run out of home brew even if I drank 2 cases (5 gal) every week, which is more than I drink.
It's easier to fill a growler to give to someone than a 6 pack, and just tell 'em to return the growler to me.

How's it going BeerBorg? Man, feels like forever since I logged in. I tried reading up on my mobile, but didn't get the chance to post much. Been a busy week, getting ready for school to start next week. Hopefully I can log in a bit more often, I feel like I missed everything!

It's colonoscopy prep day! Wooo Hooo! I need to follow a clear liquid diet all day today! Yay me.
What color is beer? Same as clear chicken broth, right? LOL j/k ... sort of. Won't be eating again until Friday late morning.
Nothing is wrong, just a routine checkup suggested by the doc. (family history) But still a serious thing, as they give you the "Michael Jackson drug" to put you out. (7 am tomorrow)
So, if I can't really drink beer (I may have 1 or 2 today) I might as well make it. So using my day off work for a brew day before the "action" kicks in later tonight. (yes, I'm talkin' poo)
Bewitched Amber Ale Deluxe Refill it is. See? Shitty days can be fun too! I bet no one has ever combined colonoscopies & brewing in one thread before.

Once you start drinking that stuff (not the beer) you may want to rethink your schedule...I'm talking poo as well.

TT many things matter... I started with 6' of line at 8 psi... keg top is at same level as tap, no hose drop (it is coiled) and it pours great. I was expecting to cut, but it's working great. 5/16" line....

6 PM is "GO" time. Then again at 3 AM w/ 2 Gas X tablets. I'm guessing that's NASA equivalent to "Go with throttle up". LOL
Sucks, because I have a football game to watch tonight at 8 PM and there's no TV in the lavatory.

The sucky part about moving... tossing out a lot of good stuff. You know you won't need it, but can think of dozen of things to use it for.

I've had 2 colonoscopies in the last 7 years and prepping is definitely the worst part.
However, 1 friend woke up in the middle of his. That would scare the crap out of me..............assuming there was any left after the prepping.
