So I bought a Frigidaire mini fridge that was already converted. I added a corny keg, 5lb co2 tank, and dual regulator. I started with a picnic tap.
My first batch in the keg was a honey porter. I set the pressure at 30psi for 24 hours and then purged it, then set at serving...10psi. Nothing but foam. So I gradually brought it down to about 4psi and wad able to get tons of pours with only half foam or less. I can live with that but obviously hope to improve.
My major issue came up when I installed a draft tower. I installed it but didn't put anymore foam or insulation inside. Im planning to add some copper to insulate the beer line and possibly a fan.
I started with 5ft of line and my local growler store owner suggested bringing it up to 10ft. I installed it this past weekend and I cant get anything but pure foam. Ive purged co2 and tried different serving psi with no luck.
I know the non insulated tower could be a problem but I consistently get all foam pours. Any suggestions?
