beer miester problem ?

[willfish]

anybody have a beer miester ? I bought one a few years ago, and it worked fine.
its just your basic looking little fridgedaire that holds a hlf barrel, with a 15lb CO2 tank.

when I pull the handle down to get my beer, there is like no beer copmming through. its like it just trickles out .. one person told me that all i need is to set the co2 tank at no more than 5 lbs of pressure on the gage.,,, while another told me that I need at least 10......

regardless , I have no or very little beer flow. WTF !!! need to do my liver in.... lol
I have a slight idea what it could be , so you tell me,

could it be all clogged up at the spout thingy ? I hate to say this but I never cleaned it out after each or for that matter every other barrel ?

and If thats my problem, how do I do it ?


thanks much,

Will

you're either low on C02 or not using enough pressure. If there was some obstruction in the pipes, the beer will taste nasty (probably like yeast) and wouldn't restrict flow too much unless a foreign object was inserted.
