Bubbling out of my in-stem.

I pressurized my keg but when I unhook the gas line, there's bubbling coming out of my in-stem. Am I doing something wrong?

Did you happen to overfill the keg?

I left about an inch between the bottom of the little tube and the beer (and have since drank at least 1L)

The poppet may not be aligned properly. Attach the gas line on and off a few times and spray it with star san to see if there are any bubbles. If it keeps up, change the poppet.
