Hello All-
I used my new beer gun last time for the first time. I had a moderately bad issue with foaming. (psi was at 4-5) I know conventional wisdom would be to turn down the psi and i did do that but it actually made the foaming worst. I began to notice that i could see bubbles coming through the line as the beer traveled through it and that appeared to be the cause of the foaming. Did i over carbonate my beer? If so how do you know when the precise carbonation has been hit? I pulled a few glasses of beer out of the keg prior to bottling and to me at least, it wasn't overly foamy. A head about an inch deep.
The only other thing i could fathom was moving the keg. I did move it about 10 feet into the kitchen but was as careful as possible. If this is the problem i might as well return it because bottling out of my kegerator would be a hassle and a half.
