Soapy water in a spray bottle (1 oz.dawn dish soap)works great for checking for leaks in any pressurized system. I must have gone through 20 kegs and 5 twenty pound co2 cylinders before I realized that this was excessive co2 use. I checked for leaks at EVERY fitting and found several small leaks. Using that thin white plastic thread tape, I rethreaded all connections and "its all gooood" My co2 use is way down (Check the Micromatic FAQ for proper co2 use for various cylinder:keg sizes) Best Regards JJT Do Hoes like Hoegaarden?
