I have a new kegging setup....the deluxe 2-tap system from midwest supply (http://www.midwestsupplies.com/products/ProdByID.aspx?ProdID=6858)
Until i get the collar and my keezer installed, i'm using cobra taps with 6' of 3/16" line. the temp on the Ranco is dialed in a 37 degrees with a 4 degree variance.
yes, one of those threads again....foam!
Forced carbed at 40 psi for 24 hrs, followed by 20 psi for 24 hrs.
Dropped the regulator to 8 psi, released the pressure valves on the kegs......foam!
I've been fiddling with it for a day or two....did the ole' release pressure, wait an hour, release pressure, wait an hour, release pressure wait an hour. foam!
turned the psi to 8-10 and....foam! not only am I pulling a WHOLE pint of foam, but at 10 psi the beer is chugging out like a jet! I can fill a pint in a second. I swear. i'm doing my best to keep the cobra tap wide open, but the beer gushes.
The only way I can get even half-way decent pour is to turn the regulator nearly all the way out....to the point where the gage reads zero. (even then, still foam)
Can you please help me diagnose?
I'm starting to think my regulator is faulty!
