I have a four tap brewlogic keg system. I'm on my 6th keg and I can't get the thing to pour at the rate at which you'd expect beer to come out of a tap. It always just comes out extremely slowly. Tastes fine, carbonation is fine, but it probably takes 45 seconds to fill a pint glass. I tried increasing the pressured, leaving it in the secondary extra long, and being extra careful not to siphon sediment. Still slow.
The kegs and lines all pour at a good speed for water and sanitizer. It's just beer giving me trouble.
I've got to be missing something basic. If it's not pressure or sediment, what else could be causing my beer to pour at a slow rate? Maybe there's a trick to preventing sediment from clogging the dip tube?
Maybe I'm just looking for a sanity check here, but could it be bad poppets? (They're all "reconditioned" ball lock kegs, but maybe reconditioning isn't as reconditioned as I'd hope?)
Sorry for not googling, most of the search terms I tried came up with irrelevant results. Slow pouring beer keg, etc. is too generic.
