3 taps good 4th one all foam

[ckotts]

So i finished converting my single tap kegorator to a 4 tap one. The problem is that the first 3 taps all run great (perfect pour every time) the forth one is all pure foam.
I am running 6.5 feet of 3/16 and 10 psi and I am running a tower cooler. if it makes any difference the forth keg is a commercial 1/6 keg of S.A. Octoberfest, any help would be great

thanks all.

So, the trouble tap is on the SA O-Fest? It is of course a Sanke D coupler. Are your other kegs Sanke or Soda Kegs? If everything is D coupler swap 2 lines and see if the problem moves. That will confirm or eliminate the keg being the problem.

the other 3 are soda kegs and the SA is a sake D that is correct. the lines and tap I'm using for the SA is the same I had on there before I added the other taps.

Did the SA just take a truck bed ride across town?

Check every inch the brew might flow through in every connection. Might be an improper cut piece of plastic, or something stuck. Especially in elbows, etc.

It's gotta be the keg then, or the coupler you installed...

Cheers!

SA has been in the fridge for two days.

but I did take the fridge withthe SA in it down the back unpaved road. (joking of coures)

it's a head scratcher. It worked great friday night before I changed everything over. I made sure to use the same gas and beer lines and even the same faucet that I was using on that keg before I changed it out.

I will double check my lines but I don't have any elbows all i have is the one line running straight from the keg to the fauset into a 3/16 Tbox shank and then the fauset. but I will make sure to check everything again.

what do you mean when you say the keg or the coupler? could I have got a bad keg or something in the coupler you think

 

[jeepinjeepin]

i'd put my money on the coupler way before the keg.

there must be something in the coupler/lines thats giving the co2 a nucleation point and allowing the foam to form. If the gas pressure is equal to the other kegs, and the lines arent leaking, and the temperature is the same, and the line length is the same.......then the only other cause would be some sort of irregularity within the 4th keg's line/coupler.
