so im pretty sure it was over carbed beer at the root of my problem. i left town for few days and before i did i burped the pressure lightly shook it burped it again and set the pressure way low to 6 psi. when i came back got perfect pours every time although slightly flat. so i incrementally...

ill try lowering the pressure as i am going out of town for a few days, see if there is any change when i get home

ive disassembled everything and cleaned thoroughly. i still think it could be funky connection too, but cannot figure out where, maybe a bunk coupler? that will be my next test but dont want to spend the money when this one is only a few months old...

all great knowledgable advice and i appreciate it, but ive tried it all, Tried line lengths at 5' went to 12' 11' 10' at all different pressures relieving the keg in between every change and sometimes just to try it. i really dont think its a temp issue cause after moving the lines into the...

as some of you may have been involved in my last thread https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f39/another-foamy-keg-thread-318433/ i have an update. My problem has not been fixed and gotten slightly worse. so today i took everything apart cleaned the whole system and took great care in putting it all...

So im still at a loss. after being certain that it was a tower warming issues i drilled a hole through my door and ran the faucet out the front to keep all the lines inside the fridge. and this still didnt solve the problem. I dont think it is over carbed because when i do get good beer after...

bump... anybody???

!!!update!!! so i got a new keg from a local craft brewery (ninkasi)) and i still have the same porblem.. beer, foam, beer pour. i am really starting to think that it is the beer in the line in the tower warming up then the cold beer turning to foam until the line cools. because i have...

correct i get sierra nevada from my local distributor in sanke kegs. and it could be about two ounces until the foam spurt happens. i wondering if there is a blockage coming from the coupler... when i got the kegerator it had an old coupler that i replaced because it was nasty and stank of...

Where should i check for leaks??

i started with 5' of 3/16 not 1/4, then went to 12 feet and made a HUGE diference, i must be getting some kind of interruption mid pour but cant figure out... the line is laid out nicely no kinks or hard corners. proper temp and PSI. i think i do need to subtract a foot of line but that wouldnt...

i started with 5 feet at everywhere from 8-12 PSI and it was nothing but foam, when i added the additional length that balanced it out much better. no it doesnt get better with additional glasses, it pours well for a second or two, then a quick spurt of foam, then good beer again.

so ive almost got it all dialed in accept there is still some unwanted foam. when i pour a beer i get about 1/4 glass of good beer, then a quick spurt of foam, then solid beer again. so the quick burst of foam in the middle cause more foam to form as the rest of the glass fills up leaving me...

well that did the trick! went to 12' feet of line at 12PSI and that totally calmed it down to almost the perfect pour. i might need to take off a foot as it is a little weak, but im going to give it a few days to see how it turns out. thanks for the advice it really made my day!

so after increasing the length of the line is there any particular way i whould coil it inside the fridge? ive heard that you dont want to leave any low spot that it should be all up travel...
