How many pints to a gas charge?

[Beardy]

My brew is now in a drinkable state, : and very nice it is to. It's a bit cloudy, which I've put down to poor temp control during fermentation, I'll know better next time. But I have a problemette. I've got a top tap King Keg with about 36 pints in it, and a pin valve. I suspected there might have been a leak, but I can't find one, however, I only seem to be able to get about 2 pints poured before I need to re-gas. That's not right is it?

think you may have i get 6 or so pints before the have to regas. gas you keg mate. the spary it with washing up liqud and warter and it will bubble if there is a leak

i find the valves are a pain to seal, and have replaced both of mine as the would loose all pressure overnight from the rubber washer.

by the way, if you drink it too cloudy your missus may be asking you how many gas charges you recive per pint, as the duvet lifts slightly yet again poot poot :sick:

The further you get down the keg, the less extra gas you will need.
This is what seems to happen with mine.

I've had a right result with the Speckled Hen I put in the keg, bottom tap version.
It was an AG clone and it's all the way down to the tap with no need to add gas.
Is this because I've not been caning it? I've only drunk a few pints each week :drink:

I think you will find that Beardy is talking about a "Top" tap!
