OK, so I'll try and be as clear and specific as possible.
Quick facts: Keg is at least half full of beer still, keg is pressurized to about 10 psi (releases gas if I pull the prv), beer is in the serving line, pull the tap and nothing comes out more than a drop or so.
I am 99% certain the dip tube is not clogged. I've had a clogged dip tube before and that situation was much different. This was the clearest beer I've ever transferred over. I transferred virtually zero trub over (crashed and fined with gelatin). I am keg dry hopping, but I'm using leaf hops and they're in a hop sock.
The valve on the regulator shows it holding at about 10 psi. If I crank it up a bit I can hear it groan as it flows into the keg. BUT...sometimes I can crank it up a bit and the needle goes up but I don't hear gas groaning.
Also of note, a day or two ago I came home and nothing poured and when I checked the regulator the psi was at zero so I cranked it back up and it was fine.
I'm getting frustrated. I bought this regulator used but have gone through at least two kegs with no problem. But I'm about to say screw it and buy a brand new regulator. I've about had it with this one.
Any thoughts??
