[alfie09]

hi as stated keg as been into the warm now for a week just went to try a half pint as i usually do to see if its primed and low and behold the first time in 4 years of brewing it aint primed up, i drew a half off and all i got is glug glug glug. any ideas or tips?

[mozza]

Give it a shake and move it somewhere warmer might need a bit of time

Are all the seals good? If you have a leak then the CO2 might have just escaped.

[alfie09]

yes seals seem good as a small bit of air escaped when i pressed the rubber on top? never had this in 4 years ha

I'll bet it's the first leak you've had in 4 years. If the top has an S30 valve, give it a burst of CO2 and check it in an hour or so.

[alfie09]

sure is had in the airing cupboard a week still no gas. any ideas now?

[ferry george]

Yes there will be plenty in bulk like that. Seals are the obvious thing. Try repriming as suggested, careful with aeration, then smear a little vaseline/petroleum jelly on the main lid seal, don't over tighten as it can distort it. Give it a squirt of CO2 leave for a few moments then "burp" the keg to expel oxygen. I would then get a little soapy water and smear all the usual suspect areas with it and look for bubbles.
