Hey everyone,
I've been having trouble with my first glass of beer from my kegger foaming like crazy. When I open the faucet the initial flow is turbulent for a second or two which puts about 2 inches of foam into the glass, but then the stream clears and pours smoothly. If I draw a second pint right away, the flow starts smooth and clear and there are no problems. If I let it sit for even a minute and then pour again it happens all over, lots of foam.
I have a Sanyo 4912 conversion with a tower on top with balanced lines (6 ft. of 3/16" tubing). I used to think the beer in the tower was warming and causing the problem, but I noticed today that I'm getting bubbles in the beer line that accumulate in lines. They flow out from the keg, but find places in the lines to settle. I believe that when I open the faucet it is these bubbles that cause the initial turbulent flow and foam.
Anyone else have this happen or have any ideas where they are coming from and why I am getting them? Better yet, any ideas how to get rid of them? Thanks for any help you folks can offer me!
