So, last night my shipment of goodies arrived. I hooked up the manifold and all my CO2 tubing so that all my chilled kegs are now under pressure. The fact that my CO2 tank still had gas in it this morning is testament to the air-tightness of the setup; it's exciting!
One drawback to the new setup is that, in my excitement to put it together, I neglected to create a provision for disconnecting the tank from the manifold. This would be pretty much necessary for performing my normal kegging tasks (pumping sanitizer through kegs, purging O2, etc.), and would also be extremely useful if I wanted to take a keg with me somewhere. I need to figure out an assembly which will let me do this.
I also tested my new beer tap, which was less successful than my gas-in setup. Apparently the seals need to be *really* tight or beer will go everywhere. I plan on testing again this weekend.
