I have a Nostalgia kegerator that I converted into a 2 tap system. Am running 11' lines, copper pipe for tower cooling, double body taprite regulator set at 12.5 at about 38 degrees to achieve about 2.5 volumes of CO2. Ran an entire keg of a Sierra Nevada pale ale clone through it and everything was perfect. This was my first keg through this kegerator. Great pours and really no issues. Kicked that keg today and hooked up another keg of the same beer and now I'm getting really foamy pours. It's not just the first pour or anything, but every pour is giving me a half glass of foam. This keg was put in the kegerator 2 days ago to chill since I knew the first keg was getting low. Both kegs were naturally carbed with the same amount of corn sugar and kegged at the same time. I didn't clean my beer line since I was running the same beer through it again. Since my first keg poured great, I know it's not a warm tower issue. Thinking it has to have something to do with the new keg or not cleaning the line before running the new keg. Obviously something is knocking the CO2 out of solution. Just need to figure it what is causing the issue. Any ideas? Should I clean the line? Or take apart the liquid post and clean it? Maybe something is gunked up in the poppet and needs cleaned out? My first keg ran so perfect it was awesome!! Now I'm having foaming issues and getting bummed. Beer still tasted great though!!!
