I'm having trouble with a seemingly simple process and really am not sure what I'm doing wrong. I've tried this four times now, three times using co2 to push the beer and once using an autosiphon, and have only achieved success one time (the second try using co2 - I have no idea what made it work that time). Each time I have gotten the beer to start flowing into the keg, but then it just stops. I can usually restart it, but then it will stop again. Before last night (when I used the autosiphon instead of using co2) I thought it was a problem with my process using co2 to transfer, but now that I had problems with the autosiphon it leads me to believe it's simply an issue of filling through the liquid out post. I would like to be able to do this (at least with the autosiphon) to avoid exposure to oxidation, especially for my hoppy beers.
My process was simple (used
http://www.brewgeeks.com/rack-beer-to-a-keg.html as a reference):
Place carboy on fermentation chamber (chest freezer) with keg on ground
Connect end of autosiphon tubing to liquid ball lock disconnect
Connect disconnect to keg
Place autosiphon in carboy
Unscrew PRV
Start autosiphon
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?
