I've got a cornie that's acting up and I think it's got something to do with the gas in post or poppet. I've had it on pressure for two weeks and the beer isn't nearly as carbed and the pour is really slow.
This is the first time I've used this particular keg and I had a hella-time getting the gas QD onto the post. it's like the poppet spring is on steroids.
Usually when I get a really slow pour I think clogged up tube/line/etc. But this batch hasn't carbed as much as they normally do in the two weeks on gas which is what is making me think it's the gas poppet -- that and the difficulty I had in pressing it down when putting on the QD.
I have replacement posts and poppets. Should I purge the keg, replace the posts/poppets and re-pressurize or do a Keg-Keg transfer?
Or am I totally off-base in thinking it's the gas post?
