    Hi guys, yesterday I was transferring the beer from my conical , I purged the keg with CO2 and flushed trough the tube before attaching to the conical, I was constantly adding CO2 trough the port, transfer was going good, after 14 litters I noticed a pocket close to the valve of the fermenter.Also many bubbles in a tube.I stopped the transfer for 10 minutes. And it went well after.
    Is it normal?
    The beer was about 30 Celsius, I was fermenting with kveik.
    Thank you for your time.

    If the connections are tight it could be CO2 breaking out of solution.

    Thank you , the seal seemed tight so hopefully it’s just CO2. I just didn’t have experience like this before lots of bubbles in the tube and stuff.

    Make sure it is tight, a clamp might give peace of mind.
