Hey All,
I'm relatively new to kegging and I'm having a beast of a time getting my beer to not be so foamy (all foam, really).
I'm confused about this whole keg balancing thing and thinking it might be the cause of my problem.
Heres my setup:
Keg at 10 psi at 39 degrees, 10 feet of 3/16'' ID hose, with Perlick forward seal faucet. This all resides in a keezer, with the faucet just above the top of the keg (in the collar). I also do not force carbonate because I realize it can cause foaming problems.
I'm confused because kegman (http://kegman.net/balance.html) says I should only be using 2 feet of hose... but I have 10ft because that's the suggestion on hbtalk.
Is balancing my issue... or something else?
Thanks guys (and gals) !
