I'm currently stumped and can't seem to fix this problem.
I recently kegged a belgian dubbel. I kept the pressure at 12 psi and got perfect pours for about 2 to 3 weeks. Then overnight, nothing but foam out of the line. I thought, ok, no big deal. I'll just unhook the gas and keep bleeding CO2 out of the tank. After a week, still just all foam. The friendly people at my local homebrew store suggested bringing the keg to room temp and then lower the pressure to 5 or 6 for pushing. I did this for 10 days, bleeding the tank a few times a day. After I hooked it back up still all foam.
So now I have the keg back in the kegerator. Have not had it attached to any CO2 for over 2 weeks. When I pull the bleed ring on the keg, no gas comes out. I hooked it up tonight and only pure foam comes out.
I even opened the keg and poured some into a glass. It tasted fine but was actually flat. I'm baffled. It's a great beer and I'm very frustrated I can't enjoy it.
My setup:
Converted chest freezer.
5 gallon kegs.
A dual pressure regulator.
Tap lines are 5 feet long.
Also, I currently have a honey weiss hooked up to the same system and it pours fine.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
