LF: Door shank

moxie · Post by **moxie** » Tue Mar 15, 2011 2:59 pm

I am adding a second tap to my small kegerator... Just stuffed a second keg in there and am considering going the cheap picnic tap route, or perhaps the shank + faucet route, depending on whether or not I can find a shank somewhere. Anybody got an extra kicking around for sale or trade? I am terrified of the cheap picnic tap failing and draining 5 gallons of beer onto my living room floor!

picnic taps are all I use... if they fail, I've got 10gal coming out.

I think I'd notice a slow leak before it catastrophically failed.

Do you have a single reg? I am going to use a stainless T to split my CO2 between two kegs... I am a bit worried about beer/co2 transferring between kegs if I have say one flat keg and one fully carb'd keg hooked up. To carb I just set them to about 10/12PSI for a week or two.

No... I'm running a dual-body regulator.

do you have shut-off valves on your gas lines?

Good question, Craig... I started a thread in the main forum as to not derail this one.
