Ill start from the beginning but I really need some input.
Me and a buddy bought the brewers best dunkelweizen kit and brewed it up to the T being unbelievably anal about sanitizing and cleansing everything we touch. Left in conical for 6 days, dropped plug, then continued in conical at room temp til 14 days. Transferred the brew into the keg by hose, hooked up gas line and tap line using pin lock fittings. Set gas to 12 psi and 35 degrees. After 2 days, we went to test and got mostly gas and spurts of foam.
My setup consists of a Sanyo kegerator with 4 foot of line on each fitting and a perlick 525ss. Both lines are 3/8" with the gas line being heat gunned to fit over the valve on the gas regulator.
After reading numerous threads on here about foam issues, I am leaning towards it not being long enough line between the keg and the perlick. My local brew shop said instead of doing longer line just turn the pressure up to 16 psi for a day then test.
I have done some research on having a longer line and the physics seem to make more sense than just upping the co2. I am pretty sure I have no leaks but I will double check tonight with some soapy water and a bottle.
Can you guys provide some insight as to my issue? Let me know if you need more info. Appreciate the help.
