New to Kegging Ciders (Have made many Ciders and bottle conditioned.) Have a problem with lots of foam at the dispensing nozzle and even with the head it goes flat immediately. Using a 1.75 Gallon "Mini" Keg and filled to about 85%.
Have tried to hit 2.5 Volumes of CO2 by using the temp / pressure chart. Fridge is at 40 Deg F and pressure regulator is at 12 pounds. Shook it a few times after putting pressure on it. Dispensing hose is 3/8" tubing and 4'. (Some say not enough length but opinions vary)
Have pulled the pressure relief on the keg and dispensed a couple of glasses with no CO2 on it. They are OK but not really carbed enough. It then kind of runs out of pressure. It acts a bit like it is over carbed???
Would appreciate any suggestions?
Almost forgot to mention has been on the "gas" now for 2 weeks.
