Testing for Keg System Leaks when Home Brewing Beer
This week I take a look at the pesky problem of beer keg system leaks in a typical homebrew system including how to find and correct them. A keg system leak can lead to an empty CO2 tank, flat beer and even a catastrophic beer leak pouring 5 gallons (19 liters) or more of beer under pressure into your refrigerator.
Potential Sites for System Leaks
Any seal in your keg system is a potential site for gas or beer leaks, so when you assemble a new system or add a new keg it is worthwhile to take a few minutes to check these locations:
The CO2 Regulator - The interface where your regulator attaches to the CO2 tank is a very high pressure seal, typically running at about 800 psi. Even a small leak here will rapidly deplete your CO2 tank. When you refill your CO2 tank you will often get a crush seal that looks like a paper or cardboard ring you can use to help seal the tank-regulator interface. Some people prefer to run without the seal, but in either case try not to overtighten the large nut as it can lead to leaks.
Gas Side Hoses - All of the hoses on the gas side of your system are potential leak points. Typically this happens where the hose is clamped to the regulator or quick disconnects.
Beer Side Hoses - Though leaks on the beer side are a bit more obvious, you can get leaks on any of the beer side hose clamps.
Quick Disconnects - You can get an improper seal between the quick disconnects and posts on your keg. Often some keg lube on the post will resolve this issue.
Keg Top Seal - The large oval seal at the top of your keg can also leak, usually because it was turned or askew a bit when you sealed the keg. Also spraying the keg seal with some star-san when closing your keg will help it seal better.
Keg Valves - The poppet valves on the keg posts can also leak, particularly if you don't have an quick disconnect over them. Usually poppet leaks can be resolved by removing the keg post and cleaning out the valves thoroughly, though in some cases you may need to replace the valve.
Methods to Test For Leaks
Bubble Method - One simple way to check for leaks is to mix a small amount of Starsan sanitizer and water in a spray bottle (or dish soap if you don't have Starsan) and spray it (or pour it) on the interfaces above when the system is under pressure. The Starsan will bubble at the side of any leak making it pretty obvious if you have a bad seal.
High Pressure Test - If the bubble method above fails, one trick I've used in the past is to turn the system up to a higher pressure - say 25 psi - and check again using the bubble method above. Often leaks that are very slow at low pressure will become quite obvious at higher pressure. As always remember "safety first" and keep your system well below the pressure limits of your kegs and equipment.
Static Test - On a new keg system I will also often do a static test where I pressurize the system and then turn off the gas supply to see how long the system can remain at my operating pressure. Its important to do this without beer in the system as the beer will absorb CO2 over time. If the system holds for a day or two then its good to go. If it seems to be losing pressure, I'll then try the test again, limiting components until I can find the leak or use the bubble test or high pressure test to isolate the leak.
Thank you again for your continued support!

Re: SODA keg
On prépare les tuyaux et on teste avec de l'eau pétillante en attendant qu'une bière soit prête

Re: SODA keg
sympa l'installation ça fonctionne bien ?
je voulais faire un peu comme toi (sans trop savoir comment ^^) pour éviter l'achat d'une pompe à 400eu dans l'immédiat ^^

Re: SODA keg
J'ai vu que JC avait un truc similaire, du coup j'ai piqué l'idée !
Et ça te permet de tirer la bière un peu d'où tu veux
Et ça fonctionne nickel !
2,5m de tuyau, mais j'ai un Counter Flow sur le robinet

Re: SODA keg
tu comptes mettre tout ça en frigo ?
Re: SODA keg
J'ai une chambre froide
Sinon ce qui restera en frigo ce sera les fûts et la bonbonne.
L'idée de ce T à l'envers avec robinet c'est de pouvoir tirer la bière directement de la chambre froide sans devoir déplacer mes kegs
Sinon, pour faire le T, c'est simple :
- 2 planches
- 2 vis
Tu vises par-dessous,et t'es bon
Faut juste faire un trou dans la planche verticale pour faire passer ton robinet à l'aide d'un "shank" (le mot en français ne me revient pas)

Re: SODA keg
J'ai trouvé cette Carb Chart assez sympa !
100 kPa (100.000 Pascal) = 1 bar
100 kPa (100.000 Pascal) = 1 bar
Re: SODA keg
c'est une sorte de kegerator que tu nous fais là :d
Re: SODA keg
rho que ça me donne envie tout ça...
Allez, l'année prochaine je me mets aux kegs :p
