I've read how many here in the forum prefer to force carb over a week. Or Let beer sit in a keg for a few weeks. With the beer sitting there that long, have you had problems with yeast, or anything falling out of suspension, accumulating at the bottom, and clogging your diptube / posts?
Never had a clog yet. But if your fermentation/racking processes are good, there should really be nothing to pick up from the bottom besides yeast and some polyphenol/protein agglomerates.
there are a few tricks. rules even. all of the hop debris, or virtually, has to be removed. hops will clog up the works much worse than yeast ever will. the hops also do a great job of clogging the pin. which is fun. the first few ounces poured will suck up a lot of yeast sediment and create a small depression of clear beer at the bottom of the keg. after that, don't move the keg. even a little movement will disturb the yeast and then you'll have to start over. that;s it. two rules. Cheers.
. . . Amen to that . . . Follow the Two Rules and don't be in a hurry . . . in many cases the beer becomes cleaer'er and clear'er. First Corollary to Rule Number One: make sure your diptube is exactly centered over the depression in the keg's bottom. Sometimes tightening the nut wants to twist the pickup to the side where the sediment tends to build up.
The only time I have had a clogged dip tube is when I got greedy and ended up sucking too much trub into the keg. Moral of the story, don't be greedy
