Hey guys,
I have a Beer Meister dual tap kegerator and I cannot figure this thing out for the life of me. I've been reading the forums on here, I've emailed the company but nothing seems to be working.
The problem that I have is that my first few oz of beer are all foam and then it pours clear. When I want a beer I have to bring two glasses to my kegerator, one for the first foamy few oz and the other for the beer I'm going to drink. I hate that this happens and I feel like I am wasting my brew by pouring out the foam. When the foam settles back into beer it tastes flat and and not as good as the beer should. It is like a creamy foam that first comes out. I've tried all different serving pressures and have even ended up over carbonating my beer to were I need to take the keg out, degas it and then start over.
When I open the door sometimes I see bubbles in the beer line and sometimes I see a large gap of space between the beer in the line and the keg. Another thing that I read is that it may have to do with the draft tower not being cooled and when the beer hits it, it foams up.
So here is the catch with my kegerator; I have two beers I have on tap and a lager that is lagering, so I want to keep the temperature as cold as possible (and my Beer Meister goes down to 32 degrees) which may not be helping my cause because at 32-34* I have to set the PSI to about 6-7 to avoid over carbonating my beers on tap. I believe it has 5 feet of 3/16 beer line.
Please help! Any suggestions?? Thanks in advance!
