I've been home brewing for over a year with this one particular keg. It gave me problems with the last batch of beer where I couldn't disconnect the gas line (ball lock) without it hissing because the poppet was stuck.
Well now I have a new batch in there, set to 12 psig one week ago, was out of town for the whole week and I come back to find my tank empty and the beer not carbed. Obviously a leak.
So I disconnected everything, put back together, set regulator to 12 psig and I can't tell if the leak is gone or not! Here's the question: I hooked up the liquid tubing and tried to pour off a beer, and nothing comes out! Shouldn't it? Even if it isn't carbed, shouldn't the CO2 be able to push the beer out if it's set to a positive pressure?
