    Default Co2 bottle to regulator?

    Do I need to put a gasket at the connection between the Co2 bottle and the regulator?

    At first pour, how long does it take, before the foam clears from the line?

    Usually there is a gasket that goes between the regulator and the tank. Look at the part on the regulator that meets the tank, if there is a rubber ring built into it then you do not need a gasket. If not you will need to put one in there to prevent gas from leaking. You should be able to pick these up wherever you get your tank filled.

    To answer you second question, you shouldn't have any foam in the line. Even at first pour. If you do it indicates a possible cooling problem although it could be other things.

    Thanks! Not sure if it's a cooling issue or not. This is the second keg I've run, the first one was fine. It may be that the new keg is a bit warmer, so I will let it settle in the frig over night and test it in the morning. "Beer...it's not just for breakfast anymore"
