D'oh! Turn CO2 on to get beer

[tekknoschtev]

I've been enjoying my pale ale brew for a while, but for the last week or two its been dispensing very slowly. I've been dreading pulling it and trying to fix what I assumed was a clog in the dip tube - though I didn't see how there could be a clog. I tried swapping taps, and the new one was slow as well so I knew it was something specific to the keg.

Then yesterday, I was looking at the 4-way manifold. 1,2, and 4 were all on. Wait... this is keg 3... D'oh. Flip the valve, and suddenly I hear the hiss of gas going into the keg. Moments later, the beer starts flowing as expected!

Fortunately, it was an easy solution that didn't involve moving my beer to another keg. BACK IN BUSINESS!

Talk about a "Cripes, I am a *******" moment... (no offense intended, I've done it myself )
