Ok I have read every thread, watched every youtube video I could find. I made a nice mix of vodka and water and kegged it, chilled it and force carbonated it and let it sit at about 30psi. After letting it rest an hour or so cleared the head space and lowered the psi to about 15, hooked it to a picnic tap. When it comes out it is 'gurgling' out, and it looks like there is 'air' inside the line as it comes out of the keg.
I have spent nearly 4-5 hours troubleshooting this and can't figure it out plus hours and hours watching videos and reading forums. This should literally be the easiest thing, but it's turned out to be the most difficult.
* I re-lubed up the dip tube, poppit and keg post
* Tried a different keg post
* Tried a different ball lock attachment on the end of the hose.
* Tried a 6 foot hose, and a 50 foot hose, and a 15 foot hose, all pretty much same problem
* Tried a completely different keg with just tap water ( chilled, force carbed, etc )
I'm at my wits end a bit here, and not exactly sure where to even begin to try and fix this because I feel like i've replaced/tried every point of failure I can think of.
If anyone has ideas of things to try, i'm all ears would love to get this resolved it's driving me crazy.
