Hello guys,
Just pouring my first brew from my new kegging setup, which one would assume would be cause for celebration. However my enthusiasm has been dulled due to some of the beer foam coming back up into the regulator when i plugged it in while it was under high pressure. We're talking a lot of foam here!
I figured that if anything should be inside it, water was perhaps marginally better, so i flushed out the rest of the foam with some clean water(not too much. didn't immerse it.).
I then tried to take apart the regulator, but i couldn't budge any of the things coming out of it. I then tried pushing CO2 through the lines when they weren't connected to the keg to push out any extra moisture, but i'm certain there is more there.
Is there anyway to take apart the reg and fix it? or is it a return to seller. I hope not the latter, because i got the setup off ebay :S Does anyone know of a place that can look at these in perth?
I'm kinda hoping that i'm stressing over nothing, but i think i might go have a few more brews, at least then the cost of a new regulator will be less in terms of "$ / glasses of beer poured"
