So I I just finished carbing a couple of batches and when I try to sample I get no flow. At first I thought it hadn't finished carbing so I gave it an extra week but then I realized that I should be able to pour a flat beer regardless.
I have
1)checked the lines and taps and they will pour from a different keg
2) tested using a picnic tap and get no flow
3) I can connect the gas line through the dip tube and I get bubbles so its not completely blocked off
4) Co2 is working fine as the PSI is maintained and the other kegs pour fine
5) Both of these kegs where working fine before this batch and the only thing I did different was use marks keg cleaner instead of hand washing (which is really nice)
So I'm thinking the dip tube is clogged, but its weird that the same thing happened to two different brands of kegs at the same time.
Anyway, I have never broken down a keg before. What is the best way to clean/check the dip tube and does anyone have any better/other ideas in case its not the dip tube?
Also on a side note where can I get a check valve for the gas line?
Thanks
Paul
