Second Corny Keg won't pour?

[mcb]

So I've had great success with my singular five gallon corny in my kegerator. I drilled a second line and bought one of those cheaper splitters to split the CO2 between corny kegs. My new keg is beat up and used, but it holds pressure and I pressurized it and ran sanitized water through the line, so it pours fine, or so it would seem.

Hooking up the whole system, my original keg still pours fine, but the new one refuses to pour. I switched "out" ball-lock connects to see if it was the tap, but the new keg still isn't happy.

Since I was able to work sanitized water out of it, I'm really confused why it won't pour the beer. The pressure is a steady 12-14 psi.

Anyone have ideas?

Plugged dip tube/tubes?

gotta be plugged up somewhere.

did you dry hop in the keg?

I did dry hop. Think the sock is stuck to the dip tube???

I don't know how others do it...I tie my hop bag with a piece of floss, with an end hanging out of the keg lid. This keeps the bag out of the inlet of the dip tube.
Can you back flush through your pickup tube? Maybe blow the foreign object out of the diptube? Then crash cool with the keg tipped a little away from the pickup tube. Then rack to another keg....but use just enough pressure to move beer, but not pickup hops etc.
Just thinkin...
Anyone else?

I was thinking about racking it to another keg, but I was worried that it would oxygenate and impact the flavor. Maybe I'll just open her up and fish out the sock.

All the feedback is really helpful, so thanks to everyone who has responded thus far.

It shouldn't oxy if you purge the second keg with co2...

Do the following:
1. Relieve pressure
2. Open keg
3. Fish out sock with something sanitized
4. Close keg
5. Pressurize with co2
6. Vent
7. Repeat steps 5 & 6
8. Pressurize with co2

All done. Oh, while you have things opened up, take out the bev line poppet and tube and verify it isn't the cause of the clog. Spray with sanitizer, put back.
