Found the issue HERE. TL;DR - Crusty ball valve

One more thing to add is the yeast tend to go to sleep if chilled rapidly enough. So you putting them in at 70F and then chilling 20 degrees in a short amount of time might have put a lot of them to sleep. This could have contributed to the flavors you're describing.

I scored a 38 with a coconut beer in our fair. I brewed my favorite porter recipe (robust), added about a 1lb of coconut - toasted with a frying pan until golden brown - to a stainless brewing dry hopper in the keg and let it sit on that for 1 week. Huge coconut flavor and aroma. One of...

It'll seal around the lid, you'll be fine. I've never had an issue.

Thanks I brought in a consultant (trusted homebrew friend) to ferment something I brewed. Still trying to figure it out though. I did replace the disconnects though fwiw

Looking for anything to trade? I'm in Fresno.

I have had something like this for a while. They rock for tailgating or parties. I used a remote adapter for a 20oz paintball tank and everything closes fine. I can fit 2 of the 1.75 gallon kegs.

At my wits end here. New regulator and lines, problem persists. Soak fermenters/kegs in pbw, rinse with water and then rinse with starsan right before filling. Left a 1.045 beer on the yeast for 3 weeks and raised temps to 68 as fermentation was finishing (S05 yeast). I do not use a...

No, replaced all that and still persisted. I am redoing my Kegerator at the moment and bought new regulator and then more lines again. I am carbing a hoppy beer right now. I believe I have finally narrowed it down to my tank. If it isn't that I'm going to rage quit homebrewing I think.

Nema 1?

Yep, just ripped out all my gas lines. Replaced. Carbing a new keg right now. Will know in about a week.

Good read but I did that this time as well. I have a feeling I'm doing something wrong on the cold side. Sent from my HTC One X using Home Brew mobile app

Yep, every time. Some of my poppets don't separate from the posts though. Not this particular keg though. Sent from my HTC One X using Home Brew mobile app

This time I sampled using one of these. The lines won't be the issue this time around. I clean my kegs with oxy clean and rinse with water. I do a final rinse with star san right before the transfer with a starsand auto siphon. I'm stumped. Sent from my HTC One X using Home Brew mobile app

Brewed a pliny the elder clone and it spent a week in the keg before becoming a butter bomb. I'm desperate here. I want to brew the beer that I want to drink. I can brew low gravity ales no problem. IPAs kick my butt though... I can't brew a high gravity IPA to save my life. Here are...

Not to worry. If your process and sanitation were sound I wouldn't worry about it. Check on it in the morning and I bet it will be off and running. It sounds like you did everything right. I decant all my starters as well and it isnt uncommon for me to have 12+ hour lag times.

You have a freezer that looks like this.
