I have a converted chest freezer kegerator and i am having issues with balancing of the system producing foamy beer. The beer was force carbonated by sitting at 15 psi for 7 days.
The beer comes out as 90% head and leaves the remainder of the beer pretty flat. I have my regulator set up at 15 psi, my hose length is 5.5' of 3/16" beer line and the kegerator temperature is 35 degrees.
I dont understand why my system isnt balanced.
Here is my calculation i got using the below source.
http://www.hbd.org/clubs/franklin/public_html/docs/balance.html
Length of hose = [Pressure - (Height from center of keg to faucet in feet * 0.5) - 1] / Resistance of Keg Line
Length = [15 - (1.5 * 0.5) - 1]/2.7 = 5.65'
I need help with the following:
If my math is wrong, what length should my hose be?
Also since i have to order new hose, what would a temporary fix so i can drink beer using this system until the new hose arrives?
