I racked a batch to this keg last week and hooked it up to pressure. Tonight I went to pull from it, and nothing came out. So to took the beer line and hooked it up to my other keg and it pulled just fine. I took the co2 line from this keg and connected it to the other keg and it pulled just fine. I ended up racking the carbonated beer form one keg to another (because I don't know how to to a keg to keg transfer - anyone with steps on this?) and the beer is coming out just fine.
I think the problem is with the dip tube. I noticed it when I received the keg, but I thought "Well, this is from a homebrew store that sells a lot of kegs, so it must be ok even though it looks wrong to me.".
Here's what the dip tube looks like:
As you can see, it appears as though it's inverted. Would this have completely stopped the flow to the tap? If so, what can I do to fix it? I pulled the keg QD off to try and get the dip tube out to invert it back, but when I did, this is what I saw:
How the heck do I get this thing out to get at the dip tube?
If it matters, this keg was made by Firestone, not Cornelius.
