I made an IPA and kegged it up. It was kind of foamy, so I took it off the gas and let some out, hoping it would settle down. After several days it was still foamy, but the pressure was still kind of low.
Then I noticed that it's only foamy for the first few seconds. After a while the whole liquid line is nearly all gas, and I have to wait for the whole thing to fill with fresh beer before I get nicely carbed beer to come out.
I then changed taps and the problem continued, but on the other tap.
So now I have to assume that the beer, or the keg is the problem. My mind tells me that if the QD is open and allowing the beer to reach the tap, then the pressure on the beer in the line should be equal to the pressure of the beer in the keg and it should keep the gas in liquid state for the most part.
Any ideas?
