Well I pulled a couple more pints tonight and they are practically all foam. Any ideas?
may be a dumb question but, are you pulling the handle all the way to you when you pour? because i know if you don't you get a lot of foam.Well I pulled a couple more pints tonight and they are practically all foam. Any ideas?

I carbed mine naturally as mentioned in the videos and was able to dispense fully with 1 cartridge. If you choose to force carb it, it will take 2 or more cartridges. My guess is that the person that used 3 either had a leak or force carbed.

Was reading in another area of the forums that someone reported the tap failed under the pressure of carbing, destroying the tap and spraying the beer out all over.
Of course, I read this about 30 min after bottling a batch of weizen, primed for 3.5 vol CO2, split between a MLHD and 1 liter swing-tops.
I'm not too worried about the glass bottles, but I'm concerned about what's carbing in the home draft bottle w/ tap. I bottled last Sat, and the plastic bottle is pretty hard (but not yet rock hard) already this morning. I could easily crack the top to bleed off some pressure, rather than risk a blow-up, but I'm not sure if it's necessary or not.
Thoughts?

What a bear of a thread to read through, looking for clarification on 1 final thing. How much does bottle orientation (vert/horiz) make when natural carbing? Would like to suck up as little yeast as possible when serving.
