Very nice article about the components. It is a great idea to actually know the pieces of the keg before you intend to use it. Much easier to diagnose problems and better maintain it that way.

[...] The pic is kind of small, but it looks the same as 2 of mine. The o-ring should be at the top of the diptube just under the flared portion. It forms the seal at the post. Check out this link for more info. http://www.brewersfriend.com/2009/08/15/anatomy-of-a-keg/ [...]

My cornies were Challenger VI’s, and they had the plastic dip tubes that warp and break, so I had to drill out the keg posts with a 5/16 bit to fit the stainless diptubes. YMMV.

Your local home brew store can get you setup with the proper fittings. My tube looks like 3/8″.

Hi, I purchased a carbonating stone and 2 feet of 1/4″ tubing. I attached the stone to the tubing easily, but it says I need to now attach the tubing to the gas-in dip tube of the keg. I can’t seem to be able to get it on there at all. What’s the diameter of the gas-in dip-tube? Do you know how to attach it to a 1/4″ tube?
