So I just filled my first keg. I have a ball lock corny keg and didn't know how much I could fill it. I did it right to the line in the inside where the top rubber starts. Is that the correct level or should I have filled it higher?
Ok. Guess next time I will fill it up a little more.
There's nothing wrong with filling it up less. Just less to drink.
It will carb faster if filled less. You can rejoice in that!
Is there a specific number to use for serving psi? I went ahead and bought 10 ft line when I initially bought the kegs.

Aside from potentially getting beer backed up the gas line, is there any other negative to having the beer up past the gas inlet diptube?Shouldn't matter AFAIK.... As long as you don't fill it all the way up to the gas inlet, any level is good..
I usually brew for 5.5G target amount for each corny keg...

I racked my IPA over to a corny last night, and thought I was just below the gas diptube, but then when I put it on the CO2, I heard bubbling.
Will it still carb as effectively?
I have a check valve in line. Also, there's no manifold or other kegs on that tank. Should be good.Well, beer backing up into the regulator is a big deal. But that's the only real problem I can think of.
I keep a few Coopers carb drops on hand just for this, along with a few swing tops. Give them a good shake with some star-san, and all is good. I just fill to about an inch below the gas line, and bottle the rest.
