Very Helpful for anyone who, like myself, just purchased a Home Kegerator. Thanks for the Helpful info.!

Certified Cicerone, Certified Sommelier and Specialist of Spirits? Nice job. All I need is the Cicerone and I've got the trio too. This video really helped my studies thanks!

Thanks for the helpful video. My kegerator coupler is now not leaking thanks to you. Cheers!🍺

Hi Jerry, that is great to hear. Thanks for letting us know the video was helpful. A leaky coupler is an aggravation no one needs in their life. -Cheers!

European couplers, are more beers brands , popular in southern Asia's....very useful....

Thanks for great explanation helped me understand and identify a keg i have.

Hey thanks very much. I screwed it up and your video really helped me. I converted a frig, and really only did it for 2 sixtels. Well I forgot and I was able to get a quarter of CBS. I was ecstatic. Hooked everything up and nothing. Going nuts and saw your video. Fixed it in seconds. Thanks very much

Hey Their Captain, very glad we could help your learning process. Cheers!

Does it makes difference if I use my home beer on a D , coupler and keg system , or I use my home beer on a A coupler and keg system?

Very helpful video. I am looking into building my own kegarator and I only had a IPhone pic of the valve on the keg and I was not sure which Sankey to purchase. now I know.

+Kenneth Frederick Excellent, very glad the video helped! We made this one because people get these two confused a lot. Even bartenders and bar backs get them confused. Cheers!

what kind of keg is that with different coupler entries? and where can i get one? is there a difference between drop-in D and thread D? Do you need different equipement for them?

hi please explain is any of the couplers US \ European can be cleaned with a sponge, like they clean in Belgaum or Netherlands with sponge so how do they clean the coupler ?

why are there no videos of low profile keg couplers?!?! I have trouble with those. and I haven't been able to find a video anywhere

+colin Felder Hey Colin, thanks for the idea and the comment. You are right, even we never considered talking about the low profile coupler. They are mostly relegated to the home brew world do deal with short cooler spaces. Info is info though and we'll certainly look to put that into our rotation. We're finally ramping back up to start videos again.

Can you talk about how to calibrate co2 pressure for draft systems?

kgmoome, Absolutely, I'm a geek for balancing pressure. When I was the beverage director at the Hopleaf I used different pressures on all of the beers (over 70) so that each beer had the brewers intended amount of carbonation. First, let me ask if I may. Do you simply mean 'how does one change the Co2 pressure on a keg'? Or, are you asking about how to determine the gas setting required on a system as a whole. I.E. How to balance pressure against resistance in a draft system to make it pour properly. If you give me a better idea of how I can help you I might be able to focus my answer better and point you to the proper resources. leadersbeverage.com

kgmoome, Perfect, you didn't need to hear me rant about a commercial system with gas blends and rise and fall resistance. We actually build custom kegerators to order so I can help as you move along. -In order to pour properly at the faucet you need to balance the pressure you apply to the keg against the physical resistance of the system. Resistance comes from the friction in the lines (interior diameter, material), whether they rise from the keg to the faucet or fall (not a big deal with a kegerator), and hardware that may cause resistace (90 degree elbows, towers, etc). -With a kegerator you will use 100% Co2. If you keep your kegerator at 38 degrees then you will need between 12-14 lbs of pressure to keep an average American Ale at the proper Co2 level of about 2.4-2.7 volumes. -Here is a resource by the Brewers Association that will give charts on temperature and co2 percentage so you know what pressure you actually need. www.draughtquality.org/wp-content/uploads/2012/01/DQM_Full_Final.pdf -Lets just assume you will put 14lbs of pressure on your keg to keep it carbonated properly. Then you need 14lbs of resistance in your system in order for it to pour correctly. If you have more than 14lbs, no big deal, the beer will just pour slowly. If you have to little it will pour very fast and cause break out carbonation in you class making it appear over carbonated -3/16th ID (interior diameter) polyvinyl beer line provides about 3lbs of resistance per foot. Therefore, if you use 5 feet of this tubing you will get about 15lbs of resistance. You may not need 5 feet so just coil it up and twist tie it. -Personally, I always add a foot because it is cheaper to cut a foot off a line pouring slowly than use a whole new piece of line. That link I pasted has the average resistance ratings on different materials and ID's -I do, actually, carry all the items you would need at my shop leadersbeverage.com/supply-shop even though I don't have them up online. It turns out building a website from scratch takes a long time. I have a link on that page though to micromatic where you can buy what you need too. I love the shops like morebeer and northernbrewer but for draft equipment they are the most expensive. Buy through micromatic (and I won't lie, I get a royalty if you use the link on my website) or I'd be happy to get you set up too. You can also ignore all that if you'd like and hit up your local home brew shop. No one can be mad at guy supporting local brick and mortars right! Happy to help if you have any questions as you truck along.

Why can't we all be the same lol

What is the name of this wonderful KEG, that you have in your hands?
