I have the Valpar stuff from Craftbrewer. I'm just boiling some water again now for Wrestlemainia round 2. I don't have any KY so I may have to use semen.

Valpar here too, have slid just enough tubing on to get a hose clamp around it, no dramas.

I found it's a good idea to make sure there are no kinks in the hose where it goes on to the barb, was having some flow/foaming issues with that once.

Getting the insertion right is all in the way you grip your hose I reckon.

I managed to get the Valpar on the barb and clamp it last night. I'll be kegging my first beer this weekend☺

First kegged beer will be a Macs kit based IPA with plenty of NZ Stryian and NZ Cascade. I've almost finished all of my Macs kits and learned a lot of good and bad along the way.

I'll post a pic of my first kegged beer for you guys. You now you want to see it. I'll be a little cloudy coz I steeped some Caraamber which always comes out cloudy, probably should be mashed.

Choice bro.

What about you Mike, did you get your JG fittings and all that sorted? I had a hack at a disconnect and that barb doesn't wanna budge.

You're talking about the regulator? I thought you were talking about the keg disconnect?

C'mon, when the tubing looks more like it is going to fit inside the barb than outside it, you know you've got a problem.

Ding Ding! Round 3 to Mr C!

A pot full of boiling water, barb lubed with soap and some brute force. No semen required.

Done!

Cheers boys.
