I have three taps on my kegerater. 2 for beer and one for soda. I have the beer taps on one regulator at 11psi. The soda tap is on a second regulator pressurized to 30psi. The fridge is a consistent 37 deg (Johnson Controls Thermostat). I first tried serving the soda at 30psi with 40 feet of 1/4" ID line from a Perlick faucet. It dispenses from the tap violently, spitting nothing but foam and large air gaps. I then bought a Cornelius pre-mix faucet with the pressure regulator built in. See pic:
I hooked the new faucet up with 5' of line and dialed down the pressure on the faucet for serving. Now nothing but a slow stream of foam comes out. Now there are no air gaps and it doesn't spit at me, but it still comes out nothing but foam. Once the foam dies down in the glass, I'm left with slightly carbonated soda. When I look at the line inside the kegerator, it is solid soda, no air gaps. The foam appears to be generated at the faucet. What's the issue? Any ideas? I'm getting really frustrated with this and ready to ditch the whole soda portion of the kegerator.
