I've kegged around 20 batches and have always had problems with my beers foaming up.
Here's my setup:
-15' of 3/16" ID 5/16" OD vinyl tubing
-Picnic taps and perlicks
-3 pin lock kegs with new o-rings
-Serving pressure from 2psi to 16psi
-Serving temperature: 38f
-Force carbonate at 12psi for a week at 38f
-Faucet and beer line chilled in the refrigerator
When I'm serving at 8 psi and over, I see no foam through the tubing all the way until the beer reaches the faucet and I get pretty much only foam at tap.
When I'm serving at 4 psi, the beer starts foaming halfway through the tubing and I'm pouring very little beer and a lot of foam.
The only way I can actually pour a beer is when I'm serving at 2 psi and even then only about 40% of the glass is filled with beer and the rest is foam.
I really do not know what I'm doing wrong! I just finished building my kegerator and have a party coming up, and don't want to serve foam.
How do I fix this?!
