Keg fermentation issue

[fury_tea]

I think my fermentation keg gas post output is blocked with crud!

There's fermentation material in the lines leading from the keg, the prv was off gassing and the valve was at the top of its range.

Tried pulling the prv and it gasses a massive amount then blows fermentation crud everywhere.

Kind of worried it's gonna blow up. I tried blowing some co2 in but I haven't got the get down to 40psi yet. Anyone had this problem/got any ideas?

Can you get the gas post off with a spanner to clean it out? If the pressure isn't holding it tight and you can loosen it then it'll release the pressure. Or press the gas post poppet in with a screwdriver. Don't do that to the beer-out side obviously!

I tried that and it shot a continuous jet of foam from the post everywhere.

I've managed to get a new post on now but that was a messy adventure.
