Small bursts of air & beer

[Buck5271]

After I tapped my keg. All I get is air and a small amount of beer then it stops and I hear gurgling inside the keg.

Did you make sure your beer and gas lines didn't get installed backwards when you may have cleaned your coupler?

Does it pour beer for a second, then stop and foam up, then pour then foam? if you leave the faucet open

If so could be a torn seal on the keg, even the smallest tear/rip can cause beer to spurt out of the faucet, small thin washers placed over the small tear/rip and retapping can fill in the tear/rip to achieve foamless non spitting pours


But could you be more specific as well? What kind/brand/keg of beer? what kind of coupler/tavern head are you using? etc etc

Never heard gurgling inside the keg before. Please attach photo of the keg with coupler attached. My initial call is to agree with Psychodad.
