I made an IPA a couple of weeks ago, and go to hook it up in my keezer and after a few days carbonating (I blast carbonate around 3 times serving PSI then clear the pressure in the keg and reconnect at serving pressure) and I get nothing coming out of the tap. I'm looking at the line, it's got some liquid but it's not clearing. I've narrowed the problem down to hop-particulate in the tube leading to the tap. The line is fine, however, I believe the actual grommet in the line connection on the tap is clogged with hops. Because it was when I inspected it previously. Short of doing anything MORE silly with this beer, I am looking for an opinion, or perhaps some advice. I don't have a way to rack from keg to keg with pressure, so what would happen if I racked from the keg to another keg with my racking cane? Will I need to depressurize? I know oxygenation and all sorts of other baddies could be lurking in my future, but I will probably just make sure I stay drunk until those crises are totally averted. What would you do in this situation?
