I wanted to taste/test my Apfelwein yesterday. Using the same bev out line I have used previously, I snapped it on the bev out and Apfelwein started seeping out of the black QD. I immediately pulled it and tested it on another keg and it operated fine (no leaks). Is it more than likely a...

Tried my Apfelwein yesterday for the first time. I kegged it just over two weeks ago. Fridge is at 38 degrees and 10 PSI. When I poured it (I had several samples throughout the day) I would get about 2 inches of head/foam that would disappear within 60 seconds. A slow trickle of bubbles would...

I have a strong scottsman in a corny keg for secondary. When I am reading to transfer and carb, can I do a keg to keg transfer without taking the lid off either keg? I was thinking I could push from the secondary corny to the destination corny by hooking up the two liquid outs and pushing in...
