I have this identical setup, do you have any advice on how to force carbonate water? I just want to make seltzer water. Should the PSI be set at 30? How long do I carbonate the water? Also a lot of people say I need a longer beer line for soda. Do I let some CO2 escape before serving?
There are so many videos on You Tube about kegging, most of which are not informative to a new user. This one is easy to follow overview, especially about basic kegging. I always had bottle conditioned. When I got to the high alcohol Belgian & Barleywine styles, bottle conditioning didn't always work, even when fresh yeast was pitched at bottling time. So now I have a keg so I can reliably force carbonate my beer, then use a counter pressure filler to bottle most of it. Good video overview.
You'd need to keep CO2 on the keg at roughly 5-10 PSI to push the beer when when it's serving. Leaving the tank disconnected would draw the CO2 out of the beer and it would go flat. Before you push at 5-10 PSI, you'd want to release any excess CO2 from the keg (to keep from overcarbonating the beer and having it pour foamy), then repressurize with 5-10 PSI. Hope this helps!
i believe so as long as you use something like a conter pressure bottle filler or the blichman beer gun. Or better yet check out bobbyfromnj video tittles "From keg to bottle for 10 bucks" and that should also do the trick a lot cheaper.
That is what I want to do when I finally own a house.

Bought my dual keg system from these guys - this info is spot on! Thanks for making it look so simple and easy.

so, you leave the C02 tank on and flowing for 2 days? I only ask because I've seen so many differing suggestions
Thanks!
