Okay. Need advice. I have a beer that I know is carbed, and I know is not overcarbed, but it's coming out flat. No head, just flat.
I have two kegs currently in my keezer attached to the same gas line at ~12 psi. My black IPA is carbed perfectly, my maibock is coming out flat.
Been investigating. Switched liquid lines. Did not help, so it's not that. I then bled the pressure and dipped some beer out of the keg. It is carbed perfectly. So my problem is somewhere between the beer and the pin lock connection.
I'm guessing there is some gunk in the poppet and it is somehow causing the CO2 to be released from the beer on the way out.
Anyone else ever had this problem?
My plan is to try to dremel a spark plug socket to fit my post. Bleed pressure off, and try to take it off to have a look.
Never taken a post off (I'm lazy and have been kegging for 3 years... I know I know I was asking for trouble.) so I am hoping to find someone who has had this problem before to reassure me this will work before going through the trouble.
