My Johnson controller died the death last week. I found out when I came home and tried to draw a beer and got nothing - no hiss, no foam - nothing. I popped the top on my kegerator and found 4 kegs of ice inside.
After some quick research on HBT to see what to do I unplugged the kegerator, propped open the lid and left everything to thaw out for a few days. Meanwhile I ordered myself an Inkbird to replace the dead Johnson controller.
After a few days wait the kegs were thawed and almost back up to room temp. The Inkbird came in and I set it up and plugged everything back in. I gave everything a couple of days to chill down again and drew a beer. Way too much foam - I hadn't vented excess CO2 yet - but the beer itself was sweet. Think the difference between a coke and coke syrup. It's been a few days now and things have not improved.
Does anyone have any idea what's happened and if I can fix it?
