Just kegged a pale ale that is one of my favorites. After force carbing my beer I get only a small trickle out of my line. My other 2 kegs are dispensing fine. I wonder if there is a clog in my pick up tube or have I missed something else? Any suggestions for clearing this without spoiling the whole batch? Thanks.
Clogged tube?

One way would be to put a beer quick disconnect on your gas line, depressurize the balky keg and attach the black disconnect to the beer Out post, and use CO2 to clear the dip tube. Another way would be to depressurize the keg (if this is a ball lock keg with a manual PRV, latch it in the open position), then remove the Out post and dip tube and clean it out in the sink. Sanitize all parts before reinstalling and you'll be good until it clogs again.
Shut the gas off to the keg before performing either procedure, of course...
Cheers!
