I'm trying to connect my new SS Brewtech Brite Tank (10 gallon size) to a CO2 cylinder. What I thought would be a simple affair is anything but.
The CO2 regulator I have came with a John Guest 3/8 connector:

I'm using this line into the regulator:

However I can't get this line to fit onto the 3/8 barb on the brite tank (won't stretch enough and enough when bending a little first at the end I still can't get it to go onto the barb).
So I then tried using 6.5mm ID silicon. This fits perfectly onto the barb:
https://www.themaltmiller.co.uk/product/platinum-cured-silicone-tube-6-5mm-id/
However this then doesn't go into the John Guest 3/8 connector. I also can't find a splicer that would seem to fit the two together, and then I'm also not sure what the silicon tubing is rated to pressure wise.
Has anyone managed to work out a way of fitting these together?
