Yup, it happened.
After seven years of smugly assuring myself that check valves are unnecessary if you know what you are doing. For seven years i was right, but a freak accident with my temp controller caused my keezer to hit a chilly 19 degrees. Well, a couple of full kegs backflowed when the frozen liquid expanded enough to reach the gas dip tube. a mixture of apfelwine and IPA was dripping out of the weep hole on my regulator all night.
I will be installing check valves shortly, but my question is this:
How do i clean the sticky icky out of the reg? The only one I've disassembled in the past never worked right again.
