comment Why did beer get into my gas lines from my corny keg?
So if you're carbonating with a carbonation stone at 10 psi then lower to 5 psi would that happen?

comment handling shrinkage from crash cooling
Yea, I thouught he was referring to the starsan shrinking due to temperature, which doesn't really make sense. Water expands slightly just before freezing. The question was edited to clarify that he was referring to the beer, but the vacuum from chilling the air and beer makes more sense.

comment a few questions about using carbonation stones
Yea I was thinking of trying to get some food grade silicone tubing, maybe not as good as pharma grade, but I doubt there's a huge difference. morebeer.com sells food grade morebeer.com/view_product/17608. But it seems like that's really for high temps and it might be overkill. Gonna go to the LHBS next week and see what they have in stock that fits best on the stone & dip tube and pick up some clamps.

comment a few questions about using carbonation stones
Good answer, all good info, thanks. Re: carbonation lids - I saw those while researching this, but they are like $60 and out of stock both places (Chi and morebeer). I bought the stone for $6.50 including shipping through an Amazon homebrew reseller. At that price I can buy 5-6 stones with tubing and clamps for the price of one lid!

comment a few questions about using carbonation stones
Thanks. I didn't buy the tubing yet, I was looking for recommended tubing. Also don't have another keg, only have 2 and one is full. It's on the ever-growing equipment to buy list though, would be great for lagering!

comment Why is the pressure slowly decreasing when force carbonating a corny keg?
After a few weeks, the pressure has stabilized so there were no leaks. It seems like the answer was mainly the drop in temperature (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gas_laws), though CO2 absorption could have also played a role. Would like to give some credit to baka who answered this in a comment first, but I'd like to mark this as answered and this answer is more complete. Thanks Flyhard & @baka.

comment Using Pyrex Graham condenser as counterflow chiller?
Yea, probably worth the peace of mind. I got a used morebeer.com chiller from a guy in my homebrew club, but I remember this place having some that were cheaper than I could find elsewhere nybrewsupply.com/wort-chillers.html
