That's why we talk about volumes of CO2 being dissolved in the beer, that's a measure that doesn't in...

Not sure that their attempts to ramp up production didn't contribute to the "quality problem" they had with this years edition.

Re: keg co2 problem,
Gotta have a leak somewhere, 10# cylinder will charge a lot of kegs. When you say beer in the line, you mean the tap line, right?

Spray bottle with starsan can find leaks.
