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?

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.

[-] smellhound@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I was thinking the same. It's a hazy IPA and I had a floating dip tube on there which fell off after kegging and carbing, so I put the regular dip tube in.

I'm wondering if there's not even enough carbonation to force the beer up through the dip tube but I will see.

Ok, good to know. Thank you.

The beer is at 38F and I have this problem with my other keg that has the same posts. No pressure leaks at all and pre-carbonated, store-bought sixtels pour fine.

Forgot to mention but there's almost no pour pressure, as well, despite the CO2 being near 15 psi, lines being open and there being the sound of air escaping when I burp the keg.

Agreed but the Revstar was super close, too!

... and also, I've got some cool new guitars to keep an eye out for.

It's so interesting, the poppets don't come out like normal ones with the springs (though I could probably force them out). I just bought new ones, entirely, so we'll see if those do the trick.

I have replaced the pressure regulator, checked the lines and the attachments for leaks. I still get some pressure in the keg but the beer is severely under-carbonated. This has happened on numerous beers.

I have tried setting to the correct carb pressure and leaving it for 2 weeks, force carbing via the shaking method and the 3-2-1 method where you set the carbonation at triple, drop it to double and then to serving carbonation over three days and I've had these issues with all of them.

I don't quickly run out of CO2 (which I figure I would if there was a leak and this happens on both of my kegs (which both have these types of posts).

My next step if the posts don't fix it will to be trying a diffusion stone but I feel like I shouldn't have to.

I think you nailed it! Knob configuration matches and everything.!

[-] smellhound@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

Could also be something that he added as well. Thanks for the info, I will keep an eye out for one in the real world!

[-] smellhound@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago

Yeah, the body looks very similar. The knob and selector is throwing me off, though.

[-] smellhound@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

Ah, very cool. Thank you!

They came with my kegs from Kegco but I think they're limiting the beer's CO2 intake. I'm going to swap them out for traditional ones today to see if they make a difference.

I have been plagued by poor carbonation and I have tried everything else.

Trying to figure out what this yellow double cutaway was over Alex Lifeson's right shoulder when he appeared on the Shred with Shifty podcast (which is awesome, by the way).

Maybe some kind of Gibson based on the fretboard inlays?

Very nice. Where?!
