I have a couple of ventmatic faucets on my kegerator. They have removable "nozzles" (for lack of the proper term) on them. Are there different diameter ones that can be swapped out when you are serving lower carbonation beers?
Maybe this is not the answer but this is what I have observed. When I have a low carbonation beer (Ordinary bitter, dark mild, even a stout at 2 volumes) I get a much better pour with some head on it using my picnic taps than when I use the faucets.
My guess is that the picnic taps are a narrower diameter and therefore create a bit more turbulence as they restrict the flow a bit more. Other than that all the line lengths and diameters are the same. Is this correct?
