I balanced my lines in my old kegerator, and had great results. When that kegerator died, I simply bought a new fridge and carried on. Since then, I have some foaming issues. I think I've pinpointed the problem- in order to keep the tap handles below the freezer door, I have them lower than the top of the kegs. As a result, I get more foaming than I liked. Using the formula to balance doesn't work for me, since I have a -1 inch drop instead of a positive rise in height.
I've tried turning down the temp, etc, but I like the carb level right where I have it at 11 psi. I have 10 foot lines already. Would even longer lines help? Or, in this case, because of the drop and the beer in the lines, would shorter lines be better?
Changing from carbing temps to serving temps isn't an option for me. I want to keep a steady 11 psi (unless I'm quick force carbing, but that's only one regulator that would be different).
I think I'm overthinking this- but I'm still not smart enough to figure it out!
