I just set up a kegerator with 4 Intertap flow control faucets and have 2 beers on tap, so I'm still relatively new to dispensing from taps.
What I'm experiencing is slightly foamy first pours (~1/2 glass of foam) with the flow control set to ~50%. I can chalk this up to warm taps. Second pours, while the tap is still cool from the first pour, are usually better.
But I can also hear what sounds like air bubbles trapped inside the tap, it makes a kind of squirty/sputtering noise as beer flows from the faucet. Kind of like the noise you'd hear in a siphon if there was a bit of air in the line or a pump that is still purging air. Is this normal? I'm wondering if this is contributing to the foamy pours I experience?
