Comment on Does anyone have experience with these posts in corny kegs?
baconeater@lemm.ee 1 year agoYou basically don’t need any real pressure in order to force liquid out of the keg it’s just that if the pressure in the headspace is lower than the equilibrium pressure of the carbonation, then gas will come out of solution in the beer as it pours and it will go flat. If you pull the manual pressure relief and hear gas escaping then the beer should absolutely pour which again seems to suggest that something on the liquid side is clogged. Did you dry hop the beer in the keg?

Ok, very good to know. No dry-hopping in the keg and I transferred it to a secondary and then the keg, which removed the majority of the sediment (though it is a hazy IPA).
I’m interested to see if the dip tube is clogged as well, though.

Hmm. I would personally try blasting some CO~2~ through the liquid post to clear out any blockages.

Yeah, not removing the dip tube entirely?
Also, I would assume with a slow leak that I would find myself running out of CO2 pretty quickly, right?

I mean you could remove the dip tube but then you are opening up the beer to oxygen and potential contamination. Blasting gas through the liquid post can help clear clogs without opening up the keg. You can check for leaks by spraying the posts and the lid with either starsan or just soapy water.
