I kegged a pilsner last Wednesday, put it into my lagering fridge and connected CO2. Checked on it yesterday, the 5# CO2 cylinder was empty and all three kegs connected to it were unpressurized. Since two have been in there a while I knew my culprit was the newly kegged pils.
Posts were tight. Connected it to my 20# cylinder and checked the lid, no leaks. There it is…bad poppet. Replaced the poppet and decided to stick a party tap on there just to be safe but now it won’t lock on! I tried a couple other QDs with no success… WT…all I did was change the poppet and I’ve used these poppets on other kegs with no issue…
Anyone ever seen this before? I ordered a couple new liquid posts to have around and a few poppets as well but this post has been fine until I put the new poppet in there…
Ball lock kegs BTW.
