Hey everybody,
I'm a student and I've finally achieved what most students would be rather jealous of. I have a keg in my room. Now I don't have to leave the room for beer. However...
1) I've currently got a winter stout being consumed from it. The CO2 is a 16g cartridge system and I've currently got a 2ft picnic tap on it (ready-made set purchased). The beer is extremely foamy when I dispense it, which settles down after about 30 seconds and needs topping up a few times once the foam settles. Is this due to the short length of the line or possibly too much pressure in the corny?
2) The other thing I want to do is connect the keg to a beer engine so I can pull a proper pint. Would I have enough pressure in the keg using the 16g CO2 cartridges to make this work?
I'm building up things piece by piece. Hopefully once I have to start renting a serious place, I'll have a fully working beer dispensing system complete with regulators and a proper CO2 canister.
Thanks for reading.
