Hey everyone,
So I purchased a used corny keg a few weeks back, and replaced all the seals, and thought it would be wise to replace the poppets, too. So I changed everything out, including the poppets, which I noted one of them looked slightly different than one of the old poppets (the other two were the same). The old one only had a black head, and my new one is black and yellow. I thought nothing of it. Well 2 weeks later I'm pouring 4/5 of a glass of foam with only the bottom of the glass being all liquid. I do not have this issue with my other keg. So I'm assuming its the poppets? Could it be something else? Nothing else has changed in my setup, and my other keg pours fine. I'm assuming there are several types of poppets out there. How do I find out which one I need? Oh yeah... I stupidly threw out the old ones... I know, dumb. Thanks.
