Alright... I've been struggling with the fine tuning of my keezer. Before I go crazy, I wanted to ask how well is to be expected.
Currently, I've got a sixlet of Goose Island Honker's Ale commercial and a cornie of Hop Devil Clone Home Brew. I recently swapped out the Goose Island tap to 10' of 3/16th, because at 10 psi (39 deg), I just couldn't pour a glass that wasn't 3/4 foam. Now it's improved to about 2/3 beer, 1/3 foam.... better after a pour or two, but always at least a 1/4 foam. I'd rather less.....
The home brew is at 12 psi with 5 ft of line. I added 2 of the McMaster Carr mixer knozzles in the short hose thread with a bit of improvement, but the first beer after sitting all night is still all foam and the second is about 1/3 foam.
I guess I'm kind of curious what I'm aiming for.... I mean, how much foam is the norm for the first pour after a day (or more) of sitting?
