    Default newbie hubby going to hook up

    Hi

    Anyone have a picture? Or 2 cents. Hook up co2 and then tap keg or is it some other order?

    LOL have to assume the TDD-1 'manual' being a commercial unit, assumes the user on the other end actually KNOWS what to do.

    Anyone have a tap the keg, hook up the co2 for dummies lesson?

    haha Not kidding..

    How far along are you?

    Once the coupler is assembled (check valve installed, beer line hooked up with seal) the CO2 should be also hooked up to the keg coupler. Make sure the main bottle valve is open and the regulator ball valve is open (if it has one), adjust the pressure to approx. 13 PSI and then tap the keg. Typically on mine it takes about half a cup to run the beer all the way through the lines and get the air bubbles out and then its party time.

    I'll see if I have any pics of the install on my computer.

    You should have much more than 58 PSI on the bottle side, should be around 900-1100 for a 5 lb. bottle depending on the temp. I'd close the bottle valve and remove the regulator to see if you have any obstructions there.
