    Not sure if this is the appropriate forum...

    We're having issues with a Cornelius keg. It's just over half full with a peanut butter beer, however most of the peanut butter has been removed. Gas has been hooked up for about a week. When the line-out is attached and opened, it's mostly just air / gas with only traces of beer coming out, basically spitting out, resulting in a glass full of foam. We then replaced the tap line with the gas, and forced CO2 through the dip tube hoping it would force any potentially stuck matter out of the dip tube. Afterward, same results. Our next solution was to remove the dip tube entirely and run a brush through it, ridding it of any further matter. Clean as a whistle, but we continue to have the same problem. We hooked up a different gas line in, as well as a different tap line out, same results. We hooked everything up, opened the faucet and shook the keg. Same results. Turn up the gas? Did that too. Same results, except the foam filled up quicker. We plan on replacing the post and poppet next, however, any other suggestions?​

    Your problem is peanut butter beer :slight_smile: Just kidding (but it does kind of sound gross). Not sure what's going on after your described troubleshooting. I would replace the post and poppet though if all else hasn't helped.
