For the life of me I can't find the leak, but a fully charged 5lb CO2 tank is tunning dry connected to one corny keg in less than two weeks with only 7lbs psi applied. Here's my question: Can I transfer cold carbonated beer from one Corny Keg to a new Corny Keg that I know doesn't have any leaks? I would appreciate any input. Thanks.

Yes, make a jumper with a beer fitting on each end. Push from pull keg to empty while occasionally pulling the relief valve on the receiving keg.

Fancier step is making an adjustable pressure relief valve for the receiving keg.

best of all IMHO is also make a gas-to-gas jumper. Put the sending keg on the counter and the receiving keg on the floor. STart the flow, then hook up the gas lines and it will siphon gently from one keg to the other with absolutely no foam and it will stop on its own when it is done. I have picture somewhere if you need them.

Yes. That is badass. Closed loop siphon transfer. I've seen your pict's and I dig it.

Here's the picture:

The Tee and valves in the gas line isn't strictly necessary, but I use this jumper for other things, and it does come in handy for this.

Thanks for the advice (and the picture of your system).

Danny-You Rock! I followed what you had in your picture and it worked perfectly. I transferred over four gallons of beer in about five minutes.
