I usually run two 5 gallon soda kegs in my kegerator with pin lock connectors along with a 2 gauge single regulator and it's manageable especially when the 2 beers are equally carbonated.
I recently rigged up a couple of extra hoses (gas and beer) so I can switch one side over to the commercial style sanke ball lock style kegs for when I pick up a keg of my favorite commercial beer.
The problem I am having is the ball lock keg side requires WAY less gas pressure (almost no pressure) in order to keep the beer from heading up to extreme levels. I notice that the clear tubing coming out of the keg always has an air space of a few inches which really contributes to the over foaming. In other words, the beer begins to flow just fine until the air space reaches the tap where it really starts to froth up a couple seconds after the flow starts. I've had to constantly deal with this.
Anybody have an answer?
