I'm fairly new to kegging. I bought a kegerator that came with four used cornies and I'm having trouble with one of the kegs. I've replaced all the o-rings, and I just filled it for the first time. I have Perlick 5 series taps which I cleaned and put in new beer lines after taking possession of the kegerator. I have a tower with two taps and I've had two batches on each tap. No problems on the right side, but the second batch on the left side in this particular keg (first use) runs at a very slow stream, but if I purge the keg, then it start flowing just fine as the keg is re-pressurizing. Regulator is set at about 11 psi. After purging, and while it's pouring, there is an odd vibration.
I'm assuming since I had no issues with the first keg on this tap, that the problem is with the keg, not the tap. But what could the problem be?
One other thing, last week I disconnected the tap hose and attached a beer gun to fill a bottle to take to a Christmas gathering, and it ran just fine. I've also taken apart the ball lock connector and cleaned it.
