I fill up two 32 oz growlers to take to work regularly and they’re both equally bubbly, as is the glass afterwards. In sum I have not noticed any dilution. if you pulled 2-3 gallons at once it could be an issue.
also might help that the valve fills from the top, and tap pulls from the bottom...
Finally got a day to do the upgrades today. Added the Kegland pressure regulator to the water-in line, and then daisy chained the cornys. Filtered water going into the first flat water keg reduced to 55PSI (in case mains pressure jumps, it will always stay the same), then a jumper line with the...
My old method of filling up the kegs manually would be perfect for adding minerals, as you've got 5 gallons measured out perfectly each time. I wonder if a water softener that uses salt could get you the similar results in-line?
When I first set up the carbonation stone, I forgot to clamp it...
I have 25 feet of 3/16 coiled inside the kegerator simply to reduce the output pressure at the tap since the keg is at 30+ PSI, otherwise it would dispense with a vengeance. Output flow is perfect with that much friction.
It will get warm, even if you insulate the line, but using 3/16" ID line, it's going to be less than 6 oz in the 30 feet of hose of warm seltzer before you get to the cold stuff. Not worth glycol chilling the line IMO, just dump the first cup of warm stuff if it's been sitting unused for a...
A Flash Chiller could be an option, most are pretty pricey, but a quick google led me to this under counter model.
As an addendum to the OP, I ordered some connections to daisy chain my other corny keg to store incoming water and pre-chill it, as the 5 gallon bucket does not seem to do much...
At room temp you will need a mechanical carbonator like the McCanns, then chill though a cold plate, no real way to do it without a fridge. Carbonation level just putting CO2 into water is a direct function of pressure and temperature, at room temp you will not get good carbonation without a...
That kegland cap looks like the pro version of what I made, and at only $40 is a deal, as a carb lid and float were over $20 each. Surprised the Kegland guy did not mention dropping a carbonation stone in, this makes such a huge difference!
I did order that pressure guage / regulator the guy...
So I used a lot of ideas I found on this forum to upgrade my old kegerator into a limitless seltzer dispenser, I think this way is a lot easier, cheaper, and safer than some of the other methods, so wanted to share so people in the future can reference this method.
I did not want to resurrect...
