I'm so tired of pouring out the first 1/3 of a glass every time I want a beer from my keezer!
I've run cold water through copper piping in the tower to keep the beer lines cool, and it works great. The foam that comes out is COLD so it doesn't seem to be a temperature issue.
I cleaned the beer line pretty intensely before I put this last keg in, so I don't think it's a dirty line causing bubbles.
My keg of Sam Adams is sitting at 38F, at about 10-11PSI with a 5-foot 3/16" ID beerline. Maybe the PSI is too much? But all beers after the first pour wonderfully.
I'm still getting foam for my first 1/3 of a beer! If I pour it out, I get well-poured beers from there on out unless I let the lines sit for a while, and then the foam will build back up.
The only thing I could think of is that the beer is foaming for some reason within the line if it sits for long enough, and the foam is rising to the top of the tube to be expelled first. The problem is... I don't know why it's doing that! Is there any way to stop this or should I just invest in a drip pan with a drain...
