Ok,
I've got a ghetto keg setup with two kegs and CO2 can in my fridge with picnic taps attached. I've been running this setup for several months now with nary a problem. I finally emptied the CO2 and had it refilled today. Hooked it up and now notice that after pouring a pint that l am somehow getting air into the system. I'll notice bubbles floating up the beer line toward the tap and end up with either CO2 or air in the beer line (liquid side). So when I pour a pint it will sputter and foam like mad. Do I have a CO2 leak somewhere? I tried attaching a different picnic tap and it does the same thing. I pulled off the plunger and reattached it. I added keg lube to the post. Why is this happening? I sprayed the top of the keg with sanitizer solution looking for leaks and didn't see anything. I get the feeling that the problem may be with the picnic tap line but am not sure.
