So I brewed some extra hoppy awesomeness that might not be as clear as I would have hoped. Long story short, I am pretty sure I have clogged my beer out post with hop residue and I can't get the damn post off to clean it

Anyone know the exact socket size needed to remove the post?

Cheers

7/8th or 11/16th depending on the post.

I had my entire dip tube clogged not long ago. Take it out and flush it then sanitize and put it back in. Don't forget to leave the airlock open. Otherwise you'll have a wee mess

Thanks Keith. I assume it needs to be a "long barrel" type socket?

Nope. I just use a regular wrench

You could always force your gas connector on to the liquid out post to see if you could blow out the obstruction. It's hard to get them on and off the wrong posts, but may save you from having to pull off the post and dip tube.

Or put the gas line on the liquid post
