Afternoon everyone,
Have a Kegerator shooting out too much foam on usually after 1-2 first pours of the day minimum (used daily) then 1/3 foam per pint afterwards, which is still excessive.
It's a wheat beer running about a 5-7 psi as 8-10 shoots it out too fast/too much foam.
As I'm trying to isolate the problem, I noticed that when it's foaming, it's pouring in a circle rather than a stream. To explain it better, the beer is coming out around the edges of the spout with seemingly air in the middle (hence it's a circle) and as soon as it hits the chilled or unchilled glass, it starts to foam up shortly thereafter. Beer lines appear completely clean from the outside, but I was going to change them anyway in the next few weeks just to take that off the list of possible causes.
I know how to pour, I know how to open the handle all the way, etc....so it's not seemingly the pour that is the problem....I simply can't figure out why sometimes it pours in a circle and sometimes it comes out in a nice stream with minimal foam.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
