I did some research and couldnt find the answer.....
I know the issues with beer lines being too short, but is it possible to have beer lines that are too long? I currently have my fridge set to 44 degress (i like my beer warmer) and just started serving an irish red, carbonated to 2.2 volumes. The keg is attached to 8ft of 3/16" beer line, and set to 11 PSI. When i pour the beer, i get no head whatsoever. I have not had an issues on any of my other beers with head retention and I am trying to figure out the culprit.
The only things I can think of right now are the beer line cutting down too much of the pressure (the beer does come out tasting well carbonated) or a bad cold break/chill haze that is affecting the head retention. I cant think of anything else at the moment....
