For a while I had two kegs in my keezer but last week I added the third and recently I added a fourth. I have a 4 line gas distributer and all my kegs are set to about 12 psi. I slow carbonate them by leaving it 12psi and give them a week to fully carbonate.
For the new kegs, both are on a 5 foot beer line and all four are getting the same amount of co2 from the gas distributer. What I find odd is the one I added recently is spitting foam and pours quickly. The one that has been slow carbonating for nearly a week just barely pours out the tap and is under carbonated even though it's been in longer. The only difference is the recent one that pours fast is an IPA that is around 7% ABV and the week old one that pours slowly is a Belgian strong ale around 9% ABV. Can that be the reason?
All the taps are the same model Perlick and like I said, each of these last two kegs are on 5 foot beer lines. I can't think of a reason for this behavior. It's not a huge deal but it's puzzling. I almost wonder if there is something wrong with the slow keg or the faucet on the slow keg.
