So I finally got around to having three beers on tap and quickly found out the outlet connection (liquid) for ball-lock kegs has a leak.
At first I thought it was too full and/or over carbonated, but I pulled off the line from keg #1 and worked like a charm.
I guess to better explain what is happening, I'll go through my thought process step by step.
Carbed up the beer. Turned gas line off, released pressure, dialed down to serving pressure, turned gas line back on. Tried to connect liquid line, but beer starts slowly spewing out. Freaked out, I pulled it off immediately. Shook it clean and looked for anything out of place, then tried again. Same thing happens, but I notice beer is coming out in two places: the back/top of the connection, and from the inside. This tells me it isn't down far enough to "lock" on the post. Pull it off again and turn off gas to reduce foaming, try again. This time it only leaks out of the top/back part. Having run out of things to try, I pull the fluid line off an almost empty keg 1 and voila: works flawlessly.
Any idea what is happening here? I ordered everything from kegconnection, so do I need to contact them to send me a new connection, or is this something I can troubleshoot myself?
