I have been brewing for a few years, but am new to kegging beers. I bought and fixed up a kegerator and put the QD conversion kit on so it would fit a corny keg.
I have been carbonating my newly brewed IPA for about 4 days at 12 psi and 39 degrees F (according to what I read, saturation over time usually takes 7-9 days). I tried pouring some out to taste it, but after about a 1/4 cup of the beer came out, no more would. I tested the CO2 lines and it seems that there are no leaks. I thought maybe the beer line was clogged (there are some flakes floating around in the beer from the dry hopping) so I cleaned the line out. Still nothing. The QDs seem to be hooked up fine, but only a bit of beer is in the beerline, it's not coming out of the keg as it should.
Has this happened to anyone? Is it a problem with my QD? Or possibly the fittings on the keg? Could there be a leak and I'm just not realizing it?
Any help would be appreciated!!
