I have been kegging for years, and this one has me stumped.
I have 4 kegs on a CO2 manifold, so I know they are all at the same pressure. Three of them are running exactly as expected, nicely carbonated, moderate foam.
The 4th keg runs a tiny bit of clear beer (presumably what was in the line) then it is all foam. It tastes just fine, so I doubt it's an infection issue, besides, if infection caused excessive CO2 production, the CO2 should go to all the other kegs too.
I assumed that the beer-out tube had a pinhole leak in the headspace, driving CO2 into the line as the beer was dispensed, so I swapped the dip tube with one from another keg. No joy.
There are no gas or beer leaks to the outside.
Anybody have a clue what's going on here?
