don’t let the gas be alone essentially. so always take gas off first, and put gas on last.

You don't want the nitrogen (grey) left on there alone, so off is grey then black, and on is black then grey.

IN then OUT (to disconnect)
OUT then IN (to connect new keg)

People have already mentioned it, but when connecting a new keg, it's **cold brew on first**, **gas on second**.

When removing an empty keg, it's **gas off first**, **cold brew off second**.

The cold brew fridge itself tells you to connect the grey line first what are yall talking about

I’ve always done it gas off first, gas on last. Had to tell my manager and she didn’t care lol.

The fridge tells you to take out black grey, then grey black. But the gas guy told us to NEVER, under any circumstances, leave the gas (grey) alone.

So therefore it is (disconnect) grey black, (connect) black grey

While this is all correct theoretically, and it was the old standard, they actually changed the standard to always be gas first no matter what. I’m guessing the intention is less confusion with minimal risk.

Inside out oreo (grey/white, black, black, grey/white). Grey is gas, you only want it on it if it has the liquid part on.

I was taught grey black off grey black on, and I’m pretty sure that’s the order it tells you to do it in on the machine? At least when you’re disconnecting a product keg and connecting the cleaning keg to clean the bev line.

Short story: grey/black on and grey/black off

Long story: So originally it was the black/grey on and then the opposite off (so grey/black). However at some point it was changed in the training to be always the gas first whether it be connecting or disconnecting (so grey/black on or off), BUT there wasn't much information provided to people who had already been trained.

So a couple of years ago I had this debate with a partner, and I was able to find instructions on the partner hub that listed both ways, but dated from different years. When I was trained on it they said to never leave the gas connected by itself for safety reasons, but when they were trained later on it said to do it grey/black on grey/black off. If I remember correctly the change was in 2018/19? I'm not sure if both copies are still on the hub, but the most recent one said to do it grey/black.

Essentially, it seems to depend on how old your source was/who trained who and it's a great example of communication breakdown within the company.

i always forget so i just do them both at the same time lol.

When putting a new keg i always remember COFFEE FIRST and coffee is black. So attach black first always.

Then to disconnect is the opposite, so instead of black first its disconnect gray first.

the new standard is grey connector is always first. new keg or cleaning or what. hell the freaking fridge tells you exactly how to do it after you clean it.

I was taught black first and to remember it as "black out drunk"

i'm surprised nobody has mentioned that when you're taking an empty keg out, to take off the "in" tube first. and then, with the "out" tube still on, bleed the air from the keg. it removes any air trapped in the line.

and then proceed to change the keg after. otherwise, it takes time for the air to move out of the tap, and for the cold brew to flow.

Nitro in so cold brew comes out so when pulling off black gray then gray black

This post is how I found out I’ve been doing it wrong for three years lmao

Disconnect- grey then black (gas off and disconnect cold brew)
Connect- black then grey (cold brew on then turn gas on)

Think of it like a car battery and the gas is the charge. Always keep it grounded with Cold Brew.

Officially it goes

To disconnect : in then out (grey then black)

To connect: out then in ( black then grey)

go into the iPad on store resources and look up how to change a keg and that way you can show your store

Black one first then the grey one for me. That’s what I was told

When connecting, black and gray. When disconnecting, gray then black.
