I've been aquiring the gear to keg my homebrew for a while, and over xmas got everything set up. I had the keg filled with commerical beer just for the first time since I don't have any beer brewing at the moment.
I've got 5ft of 3/16 id beer line and a cobra tap, all stuffed inside the fridge. I need to store the beer at about 15psi to keep it carbonated, which is obviously way too high for serving, so I've been dialing it down to about 2psi or less and cracking the pressure relief before serving. I've still been getting lots of foam, but instead of foaming in the glass (which it is doing a bit), it's mostly big chunks of foam coming out of the tap. Does this mean there's crap in my dip tube? I didn't have a dip tube cleaner so I didn't clean it out, assuming it was clean (dumb).
Other than this the system is great, and once I can afford a tower the cobra will be in the trash, but until then I'd like a beer without having to wait for the head to settle
Thanks for any help,
Isaac
