I am having a lot of trouble with my second keg. My first went fine. I bought four used kegs and they are all different. They are pin lock. One doesn’t hold water upside down because the top has a wobble bigger than the lid and new o-ring can seal. The other three seem to hold gas.
The one I am having trouble with is on my single tap, with a double line manifold. Before I had the double manifold I gave it a burst of co2 to clear oxygen. When I took the qd off to vent, beer spewed out the gas line. Tried it twice. Big mess. I tried to check the popit and saw the gas tube inside the keg was quite long. About 2 inches.
I bought the double manifold so I could set and forget. My first keg emptied and I tried the second keg the beer was flat. When I put on the third keg to replace the first for set and forget, beer from the second keg flowed out the gas line and into through the gas line of the third keg. I hadn’t turned off the gas to the second keg. Which I did, and then the third keg seemed to start to carbonate. There is gas in the canister because the beer comes out the tap, but flat.
Tried it again this morning. The beer is flat and now tastes bad too. Maybe because I didn’t get the oxygen vented?
I have the co2 set at 12 psi and the temperature is 48* (basement temperature). If I turn the fridge on it drops too low, so I keep the kegs in the kegerator, plugged in but turned off.
What can I do?
Thanks.
