What the?

[pearlbeer]

Keg one: Juniper Rye. Pours fine. Tastes good.
Keg two: Milk Stout. Pours SLOW. Like a piss-trickle. Tastes good.

System - C02 to a manifold to keg. 10psi or so.

I've check the lines and see no leaks.
Keg seal does not appear to leak.
Ball lock kegs (both)

Help.

could be a small bit of something is blocking the hose or the like. I'd try disassembling the ball lock end w/ the flat head screwdriver hole, being careful to not lose gaskets, springs etc, but see if debris is inside. If not, it could be plugged inside a bit in the metal parts near the hose itself on either end... not sure how to easily clean those. Unscrew the pony keg tap on the other end and try blowing through either direction to see if you can get air through it easily.

Let the pressure off of the slow keg, and attach a liquid out QD to the CO2 line. Hook it up to the liquid out post of the slow keg, and pressurize it at serving pressure. This will back-flush the pickup tube and might free a clog.

It's worth a try...

Good tip SweetSounds.
This or just pull the dip tub out and check it. re-sanitize before putting back in. Which ever is easiest for your particular setup.

That works too! But don't forget to release the pressure, or you'll have a beer fountain and wear 2 or 3 gallons of beer! LFMF

I have had slow or stopped taps from a line resting against the keezer wall and freezing up. I just warm the frozen section in my hand for a min then open the tap. Just meltin a little bit will let the pressure push it free.

Pulled the dip tube, no clogs.

I'm thinking maybe a bad o ring on the liquid out? Looks like a lot of air or co2 bubbles are entering the line. I see no cracks or leaks.

2 other things to check,
Remove and clean the poppit valves from the in and out posts (Maybe it could be that the keg is not getting 10 PSI due to jammed/clogged gas in post?)
Disassemble the quick disconnects and clean them. Put a large flat blade screwdriver in the slot on the top of the QD and unscrew it. (While they are NOT connected to the keg - See beer geyser post above )

I would start by swapping the liquid couplers and see if the problem follows the coupler or stays with the keg, narrows the problem down to the keg or the lines/tap, do the same with the gas side to see if it is a gas delivery issue or the keg, should narrow down the problem by eliminating one variable at a time.

+1 on the line freezing. I had a slow pour a couple of times and once it was the side of the keg getting cold against the back of the kegerator, and the other it was the line freezing. Easy to check and fix.
