Trouble Getting the "Pour" I Want From My Faucets

[Jiffster]

I've got 6 faucets all using 9' of draft line inside my keezer with my CO2 set to 12 psi.

Only 1 pours at the rate I really like and some are very slow. One even after shortening the line to 7'.

Here is a video I made a while back of one of lines pouring a little slower than I would prefer. It's not the slowest.

This is how I would like them all to pour and how one of them does pour (or close to it).

Skip to the 1:40 mark.

What can I do to trouble-shoot the system and get all of the faucets pouring the same?

do you have all the lines just connected to a splitter? I had these problems when I had mine set up like that. I put a secondary regulator on my 4 lines and now I can change the pressure individually. it will flow whatever rate I want. In addition I used perlicks with flow control. Expensive but it is a solution below is similar to mine. To get 6 you'd need two more obviously OR you could try splitting off two of them...

Yes more details. Is it a manifold or some other way of splitting them. You might need to adjust the line length for each line. I serve at about 13-14 and have 12 feet I think.

So, you have a good faucet connected to a good keg, and five bad faucets connected to five bad kegs. You should be able to use the "good keg" to test all five of the "bad faucets" and get that off the table. Then you can use the "good faucet" to test all five of the "bad kegs" to see what's up.

If your carbonation technique is solid and consistent, I'd be looking for Out post poppets that aren't opening fully.

That could be due to a poppet spring issue - especially if the kegs have been fitted with so-called "universal poppets" using "christmas tree springs". Kegs with short posts often require those coil springs to be trimmed by a loop or two.

I've yet to find a disconnect that had a defect wrt opening a keg poppet, but if you run out of ideas, check each QD...

Cheers!
