Hophead & Pellet Rubber
So I've been using my DIY float tubes since months without problems.
I've got 2 kegs that I use as fermenters with DIY floating diptubes on them so I can dry hop loose.
I dry hopped 4 days ago and started cold crashing today at 0c.
Both kegs are connected simultaneously to gas at about 10psi to make sure there is constant pressure while crashing.
6 hours in I thought I take a small sample by connecting a line to the keg out, but to my surprise no beer came out.
Then I tried my other keg and it got the same problem.. A small hissing can be heard from some c02 coming out but no beer.
Thinking maybe by some unluck the DIY float tubes came off the diptube on both kegs somehow??
I decided to unscrew one poppet to see what would happen... More hissing as I released it and then the poppet came up but didn't come out completely. This is a sign to me that the diptube should still be connected to the DIY tube as it had resistance..
All this time only co2 was coming out and I quickly screwed the post back on.
I've tried blowing some co2 through the liquid out hoping to clear perhaps some hop debris on both kegs without any result...
I have no idea what is going on the only thing I can think of is somehow I've got alot of foam in the top of the keg and the DIY floating tube is somehow floating on there?
Any tips/suggestions experiences from anyone here?
