Hello,
I brewed my first batch of beer and kegged it a couple weeks ago and it is now pouring all foam. Let me give you the back story. I had a friends brown ale in a corny hooked up to my kegerator before I kegged my brown ale. I was getting perfect pours every time with his ale. I kicked that keg and siphoned my beer from my carboy to my keg. I turned the pressure up to 30 overnight and when I poured a beer the next day it came out very fast because of all the pressure but it was actually a very good pour. I turned it down to 8psi for 3 days and then I poured another glass... no head. So I called my friend (needed beer for thanksgiving!) and asked him what to do. He said to turn it up to 30 and leave it there until thanksgiving. I did... now every time I pour it is just pure foam.
Keep in mind this is my first beer... and I very possibly screwed something up that affects the head of the beer. His beer poured fine... mine even poured fine after the first night at 30.
I have 5 feet of tube (I know I should probably have 6) and I flushed the system with B-Brite and Star-San then regular un-sanitized tap water before kegging my brown.
(It is set at 4psi now and temperature is regular fridge temp or colder)
Any ideas?
Thanks!
