diagnosing my CO2 leak issue in my draft system.
I built this keezer about 2.5 years ago. Everything was great for more than a year. Since last winter however, I've had on-and-off leak problems where I am blowing through CO2 tanks in a week or less.
I've swapped out regulators with a spare one I had. I'm on my second four-way distributor. I've tighten and re-tightened hose clamps. I've even swapped out some kegs lids because I felt maybe I wasn't getting a good seal. Sometimes, I'll go a month or more and be good. This last time I put in a new CO2 tank, it was Saturday and I walked out to my garage last night (Tuesday) and tank was empty.
I'm going out tonight with new tank and bottle of starsan to try bubble test on everything again. But this is beyond frustrating an am open to any suggestions on what else too look at.
Many thanks ...
