thanks
t-bar is as far out as it can go without unscrewing
don't think foaming is any of those alternatives
the beer simply comes out super-fast
could that be overcarbonation
or do i need to find some way to relieve the pressure?
My guess is that the beer is over-carbed, the serving pressure is too high and your regulator is not functioning properly. This is assuming you have bled off the excess pressure in the keg. You should be able to easily relieve some of the keg pressure to slow the pour. If the beer is over-carbed, the pressure can creep back up to near the previous level as more gas comes out of solution.
Try this:
1. Disconnect the gas from the keg.
2. Relieve the keg pressure completely
3. Back out the "T" handle all the way. (I assume this is the regulator adjusting handle)
4. Re-connect the gas to the keg
5. Turn the "T" handle clockwise just enough to move the low pressure gauge needle a tiny bit. I'm talking like only 1 or 2 psi.
6. Open the tap and attempt to pour a beer. Turn the "T" handle clockwise to increase pressure until the beer is dispensed at the desired rate. Go slowly when increasing the serving pressure.
7. You may need to bleed of exceessive keg pressure multiple times over a number of days to get it where you want it if it's way over-carbed.
8. Balance your system so that the serving pressure matches the carbonation pressure.
9. Check that your CO2 tank is not empty or very nearly so.
10. Check that your regulator is operating properly.
