does length of hose from corny keg to picnic tap matter?? I am using a picnic tap with 5ft of 1/4" I.D. hose from the "out" post to the picnic faucet. And a 3ft 1/4" I.D. hose from the co2 to the "in" post all hoses and co2 tank placed inside kegerator. I force carbonated the beer earlier today at 30 psi for 15 minutes while rocking the keg back and forth. The kegerator is sitting at about 42F degrees. I attempted a pour about 4 hours later but seems over carbed tons of foam (am I just being impatient???)....I attempted to de-carb using the method in the couple of posts below in the video post by connecting the gas side to the down tube, and releasing pressure from the relief valve after bubbles stop... on the third time I release the valve I was wearing my beer I Reconnected my lines but still pouring tons of foam I figured the first one may pour foam due to a difference in temp (even tho the line and picnic tap are sitting inside the kegerator so they are not room temp). I have my serving psi set to 2-3psi is this too low of psi?? could too low of psi also cause foaming?? need some help. this is my first time kegging.
it sure is a pain having to drink all this over carbbed beer lol I plan on having a get together in 2 weeks (if I don't finish the beer by testing it and testing it lol) any help would be appreciated thanks - Shawn
