I replaced my co2 tank after a nice long time and twice it's creeped and blown the kegs. The first time I thought it was (idiot) user error but I think the regulator's shot. It's a cheap regulator that came with a "kegging starter kit" so I'd prefer to toss the heap and get a good/better/best...

I just kegged a DIPA. It smells wonderful - it tastes like rubber bands. I'm thinking (a.k.a. My hope) is that a good 3 weeks or more in the keg and it'll be drinkable. (Though I may be screwed on the hop aroma and flavor, but if I have to choose between Hoppy Rubber Band Fight In Your Mouth...
