So, two days ago when I poured from the kegerator the first glass was half foam. The second glass was fine.
On another note. Out if curiosity I turned the gas off to the keg. Came.back the next night and every glass poured fine, regardless of time it sat.
So here are the specifics and please let.me know if something seems wrong.
Beer is kegged for 2.5 vols at 38 degrees. Which is 11 psi
I have 8ft of 3/16 which according to the homebrew shop is about 1 psi/ft.
So. I'm assuming the tap is about 2 psi of resistance. The height from tap o center of keg is about 2ft so that's 1 psi of resistance.
So do I need 8ft of line to make up the remaining 8psi. Or do I have something wrong? Did I forget about anything? Having the psi of the gas balanced completely with the resistance of the system?
Given the two instances of.foaming/not foaming any ideas?
