Cider in gas line

[therackman]

Brought home a tank of marionberry cider from the local ciderhouse to put on tap in the keezer. I hooked up the lines, poured a glass, and noticed that some cider got backed up into my air line? What would cause this?

I am wondering if the keg was really full and the pressure was high cause I tried to vent the keg and cider sprayed everywhere.

Anyone had cider or beer get into the gas line?

Pressure was higher in your keg than in the line.

I had a leak develop at the reg/line and the resulting pressure drop caused beer to back all the way up to the reg, thankfully not into the reg.

Sounds like it was overfilled and the pressure in the keg was higher than on your regulator. Just make sure the liquid didn't get up into your regulator...
