Potential fix to oxidation issues?

[tracer bullet]

I think at this point we are suggesting a closed transfer, and you're trying it but it's not working?

If that is the case, take a picture of your setup and we can probably troubleshoot it. It's actually pretty easy overall but it could be that you're missing some particular detail.

I've tried that Jello... did it again whilst venting... do you think my regulator is broken? In my opinion the dip tube isn't clogged... it is just pouring really slow...

Always wanted to visit Virginia Rick but unfortunately not the beer does not taste oxidised now after fully carbonation and leaving it a couple of days... seems to have conditioned well and tastes pretty good!

I am going to try a closed transfer in future Tracer! Not worried about that until.my next batch..m I have just started kegging and the beer is pouring super slow... trying to work out what is going on! Tried clearing the dip tube etc. And I bumped the psi up to 15 but nothing is working... I have tried connecting everything again... doesn't seem to be a gas leak but I did drop me regulator the other day and smash the other gauge which tells you how much is left in the co2 tank... was advised this was cool and would still work... and it did work to help me carbonate and does pour... just really slow. I do have 3m of 3/16 beer line but I took it I would need this to reduce foam as I will eventually be pouring hefeweizen with a lot of carbonation..... what do you guys think? Would cutting this to 2m help or would it increase foam and do you think the problem lies elsewhere? Thanks again troops

Has this ever poured well? Do you have another keg that you can fill with water to test the system?

Only got it last week Jello so nothing to really compare it to... I don't have any other kegs either... should I maybe turn the psi up to 30 and try and pour? 3m of 3/16 ,beer line surely wouldn't be the cause either? It worked to carbonate the beer well.... I really have no ideas what is going on.......

Bayern, here are a couple of threads that may be helpful:

I've done and used the fermonster method, but not yet the ferm and serve in the same keg method. Good luck and May the 4th be with you.

I've also started using a combination of chems Ascorbic Acid, Campden (K-metabisulfate) and brewtan b (affectionately called trifecta) to protect the beer prior to transfer. There are tons of threads that discus the proper use.

Brewtan B is also an excellent fining agent from what I understand.
