tap stuck

Post by Graham.C » Tue Aug 14, 2012 7:42 pm

Hey guys,

I have a puzzle for you all. My IPA is stuck in its keg. I can not seem to get it out, no beer will flow through my kegarator or picnic tap. I have tried blowing out the dip tube with CO2, repeatedly, but nothing seems to be stuck. CO2 flows fine, beer does not, not even a dribble. Any ideas? Should I just rack it to another keg and pull apart the original keg to see whats wrong? (using pin locks)

Thanks,
:cheers:
-Graham

I recommend just taking it to the Brewnoser meeting, and pouring the whole thing into pitchers.
Currently on tap: Nothing!
In keg: Still nothing.
In Primary: Doggone American Rye Pale Ale
