    This really helped a lot , they never taught me how to tap a keg in training , had a spill one time at work I think this will help immensely !

    Thanks for this great video, explained all the necessary stuff easy and quick (so many 'instructional videos' on You tube are made by people who want to tell their life story before telling you what you need to know). You got yourself a subscriber.

    My GF just bought us a kegerator. I'm slowly trying to figure it out. I noticed the Leinie's tap handle. Very cool!

    Great video. It does help to use beer lube in the gasket and you should always bleed the CO2 before you connect. Pull the little tab on the sanke and you’ll hear a hissing noise, then connect.

    Does this work for the WOMAN CAVE as well?
    Very good demo and valuable tip about the 1/4 turn. Thank you much appreciated.
    I'm trying to understand the CO2 regulator/hose/keg coupler setup because I want to drink carbonated water as a health aid.
    If I want plain soda water is the pressure also 12 psi? I thought it was much higher like 60 psi.

    • @astropixTX
      @astropixTX  Год назад

      Would depend on what pressure is needed to lift the water you are trying to drink. Where are you storing water?

    • @astropixTX
      @astropixTX  4 года назад +1

      Just know that you should probably replace all the lines for beer service.
      Other than that it’s basically just a refrigerator.

  • @GioSinatraFan

    quick question. I saw you set the regulator... do you have the ball valve open as well so gas is coming out as you tap it or do you open the gas ball valve after you tap? I have a twin tap so there are ball valves after the regulator. Thanks. My Dos Equis Lager keg is awaitin...

    Can you fit two skinny kegs? Two of any keg?

    • @astropixTX
      @astropixTX  3 года назад

      You can actually fit three 1/6 barrel kegs in there. Or one 1/4 barrel and one 1/6 barrel.

    How did you insulate/ keep the lines cold between the gap with the kegerator fridge and counter top ? i’m planning a bar counter kegerator myself

    • @mjremy2605
      @mjremy2605 Год назад

      Very good point! I was thinking the same myself. I think the cold air is moving from fridge into the dispensing tower. It must be so, else the beer in tower will spoil and contaminate the keg or person.

  • @backpackertoo
    @backpackertoo 3 года назад +2

    I'm getting mixed opinions on this question. Do you turn on CO2 to regulator then open valve sending CO2 to keg tap then tap keg while charged? Some people are saying to tap keg first then turn on gas or you will get a beer shower. I'm tapping my first keg and want to get it right the first time.

    • @astropixTX
      @astropixTX  3 года назад +1

      The gas should be on when you stab the keg.

    • @astropixTX
      @astropixTX  4 года назад

      Most of the time as cold as it goes ~32 degrees. However every beer has a recommended temp you can find via google.

      Everyone I know goes as cold as possible. Your beer will get cold, just give it 24 hours in the fridge

    • @javierzavala7027

    Hey awesome you are from San Anto! 2005 UTSA alumni myself. Looking at vids at how to set up a beer draft. I just bought some beer tab handles and looking to get that beer draft feeling for a party in the future. I don't know how to install them. What do I need to get started? If you can send a couple tips. Thanks. Also, cool man cave.

      @@re528 okay. Well, you would need to get a CO2 bottle to lift the keg. And tie into a spout with a handle.
      Most people who lift a keg on ice or off ice will use a cold box/tap jockey with a cooler full of ice with coiled stainless thy will instantly cool the beer.
