BMBF for 3 vol of CO2 plus

B-Dub · Nov 19, 2008

Has anyone had luck using the BMBF for highly carbed Belgium style beers???

I tried today and had allot of foam. Then switched to "normal" carbed beer and it worked great, like always.

Thanks

Freeze the bottles. Drop Pressure to 1 -3 #, and Go EZ! Foam seems inevitable for these styles.

Maybe you need a longer beer line to the cobra faucet for higher carbed styles?

I worked the pressure up and down to the keg looking for the sweet spot. One bottle out of 6 (22's) came out just short.

Freeze the bottles?? Nice...I'll give that a shot!

I don't think you would want to freeze them to the point that frost develops, but get them really really cold. The frost will act as nucleation sites and cause more foaming

Perhaps it goes without saying, but getting the beer as cold as possible (without freezing) helps tremendously. This works best with cold bottles, as mentioned above.
