My first regulator at some stage I did the not uncommon wrong post carbonated keg and backed up into the regulator.
Ever since couldn't get above 21 psi on the dial and I used it on my spare cylinder for mobile duties, counter pressure filling, flushing kegs out etc.
Noticed recently looking into clear kegs that growth occurred on surface of the beer and also on some bottles counter pressure filled beer still tasting okay but I'm drinking it up rather than long terming it.
I think the regulator has nasties in it that I'm inoculating into my vessels.
Can regulators be taken apart and sterilised and reconditioned or shall I just get a new Mk IV to add to the collection?
I'm erring new and chuck the other one.
