This is the 3rd batch of beer that I have kegged now. The first 2 I kegged into the same reconditioned ball lock keg I got from Midwest. This batch I put in the other reconditioned ball lock keg I got from Midwest. I did the same technique as the first two which had no issues at all - set at 30 PSI for 24 hours, purged, then let it sit at 10-12 PSI for 2 weeks.
I went to pour a glass and the first one was all foam, figured I'd try another. Foam. Another, foam. So I filled a pitcher and it was all foam. I tried switching to a different liquid disconnect, didn't help. I tried a different liquid ball lock post, didn't help. I switched the beer line back to my other keg and the beer came out just fine.
So I went back to the foamy keg, pulled it out of my kegerator and I noticed that when I open the tap handle there is a lot of air bubbles in the beer line, hence why there is so much foam. But my question is, is this over carbonated beer or a faulty keg? Any way I can tell?
Thanks!
