I recently made the transition from corny kegs to 50L sanke kegs at my UBrew, and I used to use a recirculating carbonator that would carbonate beer in about 30 minutes.

I have removed the check ball and thomson valve from my coupler and have the system working with re-circulation inside a pail fine, however once I attach it to a sanke it is unable to recirculate. Seems to push the lines into the keg but can't draw anymore either. I do have the in and outs set right I already checked that.

I know I could just use the burst carb method however I liked that the re-circulation method allowed me to set it to the desired PSI for standard volumes at standard temperatures and instead of it taking 3 weeks I could do it in a few hours.

Is there a way to get a sanke to re-circulate through the coupler?
