Hey,

New to the forums, new to kegerators..

I have a Danby Energy Star fridge w/ dual tap chrome tower. I tried tapping a 19l cornelius keg and originally had the psi too high (30 psi). I lowered it to 12 psi but no beer would come out. Thinking I over carbonated the beer I vented the keg and set it aside overnight. I tried again this morning at the correct psi and still no beer.

What am I doing wrong?

Any help would be appreciated!
 
1. Check that your keg really has pressure... just bump the pressure relief to see.

2) Beer line or dip tube is clogged: Check the out post by pushing in (LIGHTLY) on the out poppet.
 
Yes I do. I get flow when I put the psi at 30 but it comes out very foamy.

A few possibilities: the Out dip tube is clogged; or it is improperly located and its opening is jammed against the bottom of the keg and blocking flow; one or the other post poppets aren't fully opening; one or the other quick disconnects aren't fully opening when engaged to its post...

Cheers!
