Thank you everyone, was hoping this was the answer.

Hey everyone, I realized today that I made a big rookie mistake yesterday. I was cleaning out two used kegs and used a diluted bleach solution to clean them and I also left the solution in over night (approx 16-20 hours). After reading online today, I realized my mistake and immediately dumped...

Thanks Darryl, The new lines helped out a bit, but I’m still pouring out a ton of foam. The beer has had plenty of opportunity to equalize, but hasn’t. I’m really thinking there is something wrong with my regulator. Next batch I am purchasing a new one. Mike

I honestly think this is my problem after talking with the local home brew store. I just bought 15’ of thick 2.2 psi/ft restriction beer line from the home brew store. Gonna try this tonight to see if it helps at all. If not, I’m going to replace my regulator. In theory, if I understand...

You are correct, I purged the keg after the initial 30 psi for 24 hours period. I’m now having to purge the keg when I’m wanting to pour a beer after it’s been sitting at 10 psi, reduce the pressure to basically nothing on the regulator, then bump it back up to 10 psi afterwards to store until...

QD as in quick disconnect? If so, I do have a spare one, I will check that today or tomorrow when I buy some new thick beer line. Thanks for the feedback.

My 5’ line was actual thick walled beer line. My 20’ line was just cheap hardware thin vinyl water line (to try something new). Does the line make much of a difference? Should I try new thick beer line?

I’m going to try that method next time. I was rushed to finish the beer by this weekend for this batch.

Thanks for the input, maybe that could be the cause. In this situation, the beer line is probably a bit warm because I had it out to switch the taps over. Usually the beer line is in the fridge with the keg and co2 tank. My beer glass was room temperature. I will try again tomorrow with the...

I have a video of my pour with the picnic tap and 20’ line, but apparently it’s too large in size to attach to this thread, so I uploaded to YouTube. For the purpose of the video and lack of hands, I didn’t tilt the glass at all, the pour could have been better. Does that pressure seem about...

I tried with my other tap at 10 psi. It came pouring out pretty good and not much different than the picnic tap. I’ve attached a picture showing the pour.

Yes (I think so), with the 5’ line, I could barely press it down before my glass was all full, with the 20’ line, I pressed fully down as it filled up. I have another tap, I might try that to eliminate the picnic tap causing the problem. Thanks for the suggestion. I’ll report back!

Hey Everyone, I'm fairly new to kegging, just kegged my second batch. Both batches are crazy foamy, after my first batch, I decided to switch out my 5' 3/16" beer line to a 20' line. The longer hose made very little improvement and am now stumped about why this is happening. I am using a pin...

I am using a pre-hopped extract kit from Black Rock. No fancy recipe for me yet, i'm still fairly new to this. Thanks.

Thanks for the quick responses, how much do you think I should add?
