So. . . I just finished my 1st keg of homebrew. I used a picnic tap, with one foot of hose. I forcecarbed (just invented a new word!), and kept it at 10 lbs of pressure.
Here's the deal. It foams like crazy when I pour it. I've heard that I can buy the $40 taps and it won't do that. Or that I can vent the keg it each time before I pour it, or that Austin Home Brew sells a thinner and smoother(?) hose that won't let it foam up like that.
My question is:
Is there another way?
I can't afford the new tap, have heard that venting could affect the taste of my beer and don't want to order and don't trust the other tubing.
Surely, among all of the keggers out there, you know a way to keep the foam down without resorting to any of those measures.
Thanks in advance.
