I am still fighting the foam in my system. I have 10' of 3/16" ID beer line which should be enough at 38 F to not allow CO2 to come out of solution. I am getting 1/4 glass of foam and 3/4 glass of beer. Watching the beer come out of the faucets, I notice 1 or 2 "pulses" of foam come out, followed by clear beer. So I think it's only spitting foam for part of the pour. I was wondering if dirty lines, faucets, or keg posts could cause CO2 to come out of solution in a Venturi-like effect.
When I switch kegs I just run 5 gal of PBW through, then 5 gal of StarSan and assume it is clean after that much exposure. I don't disassemble all the parts and soak them individually. I assumed this is whats commercial bars are doing, or do they have to break down their system between kegs? I have the Perlick 525 chrome taps, and I though the forward-sealing feature kept it clean in between pours.
