dude i was skeptical as F ive been screwing with my IPA for a week to get the carb down... one flip and a bit of wasted co2 later 1st good pour ive had since i kegged it

I am running a dual regulator with a stout at 12 psi with a 10' 3/16 ID hose, and an IPA at 10 PSI with a 10' 3/16 hose. My stout pours perfectly, my IPA reguardless of the pressure setting i have the keg at is nearly all foam. the foam seems to start in the line as it leaves the keg. is this...
