I appreciate this isn’t directly relating to home brewing, apologies, but not sure where else to seek advice on mini kegs/casks.
I bought a mini cask of beer (https://lacons.co.uk/product/st-nicks-mini-cask/). I let it settle for a few days, turned the top vent and then pulled out the tap. When I then turn the tap, I get a quick spurt of beer (about half an inch in a pint glass), but it then stops to a small drip. If I come back ten minutes later, it does the same.
Never had this problem before - any ideas what J might be doing wrong?
It’s quite possible the vent on top didn’t open properly. Or, like santoch said, it may be plugged. Is there a way you can introduce CO2 into the lower tap to blow back any residue? Otherwise, I would contact the brewer.
To me it sounds like the vent is not open. If you are not planning to use it a second time, you could drill a little hole in the plastic part of the vent.
