Maybe I need to install longer lines so I can have the pressure higher. Like 12psi.

First off thanks to everyone. And a big fat thank you ya smelly glove. I came right home and measured and checked temperature. I was at 18psi with 5ft of 3/16 beer line. That calculator you posted suggested 8psi. So I turned off the tank. Burped it. Cranked it back to 8 and wow what an...

Well i'm logging off smellyglove, i've gotta head home. I will be checking tonight. I you still have the energy to explain the in the simplest language dumbed down version I would appreciate it. AT this point, I"m thinking the beer is over carb'd and the pressure is much too high. I think the...

in any case. I am going to lower the psi and burp my keg a couple times. Good?

so weird, the calculator i'm using says that 5ft of line should be 7 or 8psi. but you're saying that 5ft (150cm) is fine with .8bar or 11ishpsi

smelly, don't hate me but 0.8 bar? i dont' understand this

smelly, should i just try setting it to the correct pressure, for instance 6psi NOT 15!!!!! and see what happens.? Or double the line length. (obviously measure and all that). Like you said earlier, the unbalance (over carb'ing) could be making the foam explode at the top and disapear.

brewbama i only wash with hot water and starsan. literally. never use dawn or whatever else.

its thin, I'll double check at home but i'm sure its 3/16, 3ft from centre of keg to tower tap, about 3C, i've got it set right now to about 14 or 15psi....that i know for sure. the math on the calculation website suggests about 6, 7psi for that length, temp and diameter

smellly, one last thing. I checked out a beer line length calculator. it says for 5ft of hose i need 7psi. maybe i'm tremendously over pressured and under balanced? Of course I have to measure my line when I get home from work.

thanks for the help man.

i know the line is warmer than the firdge. I'm runing a insulation tube over the beer line as it exits the fridge and head northbound to the tower.

Smelly, the mouth feel/carb is good. some brews after a pour the liquid beer in the body of the glass looks like a Coor's commercial. The last beer I made didn't even have lacing. This one is a decent head on pint one, and garage (lacing only) on the second, third, fourth and fifth. After that I...

Smelly, let me ask you. Often I find my first pour is the best one for head retention. The second and third pours are where I really start to notice the lack of head. Lets assume that the keg is a few degrees cooler than the line up near the serving tower. What should i do?

schematix thanks for the step-by-step. I've copy and pasted the instructions. Regardless of recipe I'm going to try your process to ensure. bleme. thx. reading the link now
