I kegged up my first two cornies this weekend, force carbonated, and tonight I went to sample. Keg #1 was 5 gallons of an oatmeal stout (that tastes more like a porter, oh well) and it is carbonated perfectly. Keg #2 was an English bitter, but only 3 gallons. It is pouring nothing but foam and CO2 out of my picnic tap. It isn't frozen, and all the seals on the keg are new, and poppets seem fine. Any ideas?
Here is my system:
- plenty of CO2
- force carbed at about 25 psi @ 45F; agitated to mix for a few minutes, then disconnected gas
- repeated step above again after 8 hours
- dropped pressure in kegs to serving pressure (about 11 psi)
- let sit for 2 days
- pouring from a picnic tap on 4 feet of 3/16" hose (at keg height)
Note, I tried the same hose/picnic tap on both kegs, and keg #1 pours perfectly, but keg #2 is foam, foam, foam. $#@(*&$(&(#@!!!
EDIT: dropped the pressure to almost nothing, still all foam
I have looked through past threads, but couldn't find much to help. If anyone has any advice on things to try, I would sure appreciate it!
