Yeah I did try that. The problem is that each time I open the tap I get a burst of foam no matter what I do. I'm sure part of the problem is that my beer is highly carbonated. The problem with this keg setup not working with highly carbonated beers is that I like it that way:D
It's...
Thanks, I'll start with 12' and see how that goes. Hopefully it works out, I'm really tired of wasting perfectly good beer. In the meantime I'll purge some C02 and get back down to a semi normal carb level. Oh well hopefully this will be settled by the time I get my next beer in the kegs.

Ok so I purged all the CO2 out and then recarbed. once again I get the carbonation I want but with tons of foam. I even put in those short hose trouble plastic things (2) and still foam.
I called Keg Connection and he was amazed that I was having problems. He sent me a hose extender which...
OK so I can't get the tube off of the stupid hookup so I can't get the diameter of the hose. Anyone know what 1.75" circumference translates into inner diameter? I think its stupid that they don't have the size on the side of the tubing...
Anyway:
I took the dip tube out, flattened the lip...
thats a great tip, I'll do that when I get home. BTW I worked around the foam last night and the beer is delicious...all I need is to get this worked out and I will be a happy man.
When I cleaned it I took it completely apart and checked the dip tube o ring and it looked fine. I put some keglube on it after cleaning and put it back together. But what I don't understand is why there is so many bubbles in the line? I don't remember having bubbles before in my other beers...
When I get home today I'll measure the lines diameter again and post. I can't for the life of me remember what they were. I took it off gas last night and purged. I can't really do the shake and purge method because I've got a full 5 gal in there and it shoots right out the purge valve:D
Thanks, I might have overcarb'd, but I actually dig the carbonation. I'll take it off the gas and bleed it for a couple days and see how it works. Then I'll go from there. Thanks!
I rolled it on my legs for probably a good 20-30 minutes total. I'd do 5 minutes and then check for carbonation and so on. I had it at 30 PSI. Once I had a feel for the carbonation I let it sit over night and checked again this evening. I'll try and lower the serving pressure a bit and see if...
So I have a 3 tap setup from keg connection that has never worked right. I'm not sure if it's me or them. I have my temp set at 35 degrees with a swing of 2. I've had nothing but foam from 3 beers. This latest one is a really great IPA that I've been trying to dial in using the tips that they...
So yeah, my keg is now empty. I had no idea it was coming either.....pour, pour, pour, and then FOAM! I'm heart broken! I can't believe I was caught off guard by this!
