I guess this goes to both Brads, how do you connect the sanke kit racking cane to a ball lock QD? Are you using something like this? I don't think that's the same size as the racking cane. I had a hard time finding a solution to let me easily hook the gas line up to the sanke, but haven't really looked for the liquid side yet.

Brent, that's pretty much it. I used what you linked on the racking tube, as it plugs right into a QD. I use the mating end on my blowoff tube, so that I have a mating connector for my CO2 tank normal output.

I've only used this setup once, but it worked great. My only concern is going to be sanitation on the racking tube... I might have to make my standard procedure to cut an inch of the tube after each use and keep the connector and the tube itself separate during storage.

I just cobbled something together with parts I had laying around. I will have to take picture of it so you can see what it looks like.

By the way Brent, nice hijack of the thread. :happybeer:
