So I've been mulling over a problem that I've been having for a few weeks now. At first I thought my beer was simply overcarbonated, but that turned out not to be the case. At any rate, my problem is this; when I serve from one of my kegs, the beer comes through the line as expected, but with "surges" of CO2 gas along with it. As a result, I'm getting some pretty bad pours, lol. I've looked at everything quickly, as I didn't want to leave the cover off for too long with a full keg, and haven't seen anything overly obvious, but I have my guesses. Just thought I would field some opinions here before I went in to try and fix this.
My thought was that maybe the beverage tube is being "lifted" by the CO2, and gas is escaping into the line while at the same time pushing beer through. I'll have to make sure that the poppet valve is the correct one, as I am using it as received from Midwest, although I don't see how that would be possible, since the valve resets just fine when removing the adapter.
