Apparently the posts on the keg for gas and liquid are not interchangeable? Am I the only one that didn’t know that? The gas ball lock fits on both but the liquid ball lock only fits one correctly. I kept thinking the issues were elsewhere. A lot of time spent being frustrated by that.
Also, when pressure transferring from my unitank to my keg, my liquid ball lock apparently kept clogging from minimal sediment getting sucked up and into it. I had to disconnect my tubing from the liquid ball lock and just insert it through the top of the keg. It’s carbonated so it foamed all over the place. I just let it keep going though and the plan was just to rinse the keg off afterwards and clean a bunch of foam off my floor. When rinsing the keg off afterwards I realized I had forgot to re tighten the prv on the keg and water more than likely got into the keg. This blonde ale was to be my best brew yet. This was my first time using a DIY glycol so I was able to 100% meet temp control/ crash. Complete nightmare trying to get this beer into the keg.
Does anyone else have problems with the black post clogging during pressure transfer? What is the solution?
