Alright, get your mind out of the gutter and help me with my keg line
I have a single tap sanke and I think the line is probably 3-4 ft and 1/4" I will be measuring it tomorrow. I have a party Saturday I am loaning my keg set up to a friend to celebrate their anniversary and I'm having foaming issues with my kegs.
I will be mounting my tap in a skinny bar style trash can that is 19X10X28 which is almost perfect size for one or two 5 gal kegs (sanke or corny). I just need to figure out how to keep everything from foaming so much. I know my beer isn't overcarbed. If I pour a pint the first one is over 1/2 head. If I pour another one right after that it is almost perfect, but if it sits for a few minutes it is back to 1/2 head again. From what I've read I think I need longer lines, probably start at 10 ft and work my way back. I can source the lines locally but I'm not sure about bumping up to 3/16 by saturday that may have to wait.
What things do I need to consider for this set up to work for the trash can and my kegerator, which is a standard top freezer single door fridge with a single tap coming out the fridge door??? Any help is greatly appreciated, I just don't want to be in trouble for wasting a bunch of beer in the form of foam!!
