I'm down to my 'last resort' here.
I bought a direct draw 4 keg cooler and have plans to get all 4 taps up and running eventually with home brew. For starters, I bought a keg of domestic light beer for use at a party, and to fine tune the kegging system.
The problem I'm having is that there is WAY too much foam in the beer. Instead of the nice 3/4" head, I'm getting around 4-6" of foam. I've got the liquid temperature right at 38 degrees.
I tried turning UP the co2 level to 14 psi. That didn't work. I bled the valve on the keg...tried to turn it DOWN to 10psi...still nothing. Finally, I replaced the co2 valve and apparently that may have been faulty as the new guage initially read 22psi!!!
Again, I bled the keg and set my psi to 12. I still have problems though. Can anyone provide me with any other advice of what I can try?! Should I completely shut off the co2 to the keg and bleed it off? Wouldn't that cause the beer to go flat?
Thanks in advance for any help...
