Odd situation just now. Tapped a keg (pilsner) 2 weeks ago. Used same ole procedure I've used for 10 years. Beer was pouring fine and have probably poured 15-20 beers already. Go out to pour a beer, all good. Go back after 30 minutes for another, no beer!!! Gas is showing plenty left, line had beer, keg is not frozen (I shook it), so what is going on? Help! Its Saturday and I need my beer? I even uncoupled and re-coupled but it didn't work. Something blocking the tap assembly possible?

Hi djc - No everything looked good. I decided to uncouple and inspect everything, including taking the tap off. When I took off the coupler I, noticed the ball in the shaft did not move. I tried to shake it loose and then reinstalled it and beer is flowing well again. That was really odd...I dont think I've had a stuck ball before. Of important note...this is a new coupler S type I bought because my original S coupler failed, so its my first time using it. Could it be the ball? Do they get stuck?
Thanks

They do occasionally stick, some people take them out and leave them out. The only issue in doing that is that when you uncouple there is nothing to stop the beer in the line from coming out.What I have: Haier two tap, 525 faucets, tower cooler, 10' lines
