BeerBorg

It's hard to say. And it's kind of hard to tell from the pictures. But new poppets are cheap and might be worth changing them out. When I bought my system from kegconnection.com, I bought used/reconditioned kegs. I changed the poppets, all the o-rings and gas in tubes immediately. They looked a little worn and I wasn't taking any chances. It's all a cheap fix to help make sure it all works properly. Oh...and I bought the universal poppets too.

It has been a while since I posted on this, but here is an update:

Success!

I guess there was a very small leak in the keg. It didn't seem detectable by a soap bubble test at first, but I transferred the beer to another keg. After a week on the gas, it has great carbonation and head!

I replaced the o-ring on the gas in on the other keg, as the other one had a little mar in it. I teflon taped the post and reassembled, now all 3 kegs are pouring beautiful pints!

Glad you figured it out. It's frustrating when these things happen and you can't figure it out.

I love a good success story
