Last ferment in keg, I could not find a leak. The gas post of fermkeg was piped to liquid post of eventual serving keg to use fermentation gas to purge serving keg. Then gas post servekeg to jug-o-StarSan, where I never saw bubbles. Couldn't find the leak.

That was a pale ale. This time I am doing a version of @Braufessor 's session hoppy, but wheatless for wheat allergy, and this morning at about 18hr post pitch, I have no bubbles but I open the ferm chamber to be greeted by lovely full in yer face Citra Mosaic Galaxy Amarillo.

I finally did what I should have done last time and pressurized all jump hose segments until I found, half way between the ends, a sliced hose. So I cut it, reconnected, and now it's all bubling away.

Always check yer hoses, boys and girls.
