![]() Got a new keg--same problem with some differences--flow is still not good, still lots of foam, but able to pull beer into a pitcher. have to let foam subside and then we have drinkable beer. But this is a workaround only. Do you think our tap has gone bad? or? |

Hey Storm... Sorry you are still having problems. I know it can be frustrating troubleshooting.
Have you opened the tap and pushed it down all the way, even if that seems a bit counter-intuitive? Have you taken your tap assembly apart to clean it and make sure all the parts are looking ok? Like the ball check valve, check ball and gaskets within the tap? It's hard to know without seeing the tap, but it sounds like your check ball maybe getting stuck Other things to check: Stupid question but I've seen it before, have you crossed your air and beer lines by mistake? How long is the beer line you are using? Sometimes if your line is too long the beer will foam and gurgle. Keep us informed on your progress. |

Well, we have taken everything apart and cleaned thoroughly again. Checked the assembly--all parts look okay. If it is a problem with the check ball, what can we do?
Beer and air lines are correctly connected. beer line is about 4 ft long. The only thing I have come up with is temp--when we picked up this keg, it was cold but it sat in our basement for several hours before going into the kegerator. Basement is cold this time of year but certainly not at 38 degrees. And I think the same thing may have happened with the last keg we had problems with. What do you think? |
