I went to test out my CO2 setup in preparation for kegging this weekend for the first time. I have 2 major leaks. I bought used equipment locally and this isn't the first issue I've had, so I shouldn't be surprised. I'm using brass connection fittings and an old soda line and ball lock kegs.
The first leak found was a nick in the line itself. The second one is a major leak at the connection point to the regulator. The brass fittings are swivel types on each end. One end connects to the regulator and one to the keg fill quick connect. The leak is behind the nut at the swivel point for the regulator connection and it's blowing major soap bubbles.
I went to Home Depot looking for parts to remedy this and came up empty handed. I am beyond frustrated today. Lately, homebrewing has been frustrating, and this isn't helping. I needed to keg this weekend.
What should I do?
