SWMBO and I just hosted Christmas at our place, and picked up a sanke log of Sam Adam's Winter for any guests who were less inclined to have the bigger homebrews I have on tap right now. (Side note: after sampling this, I can't believe this used to be one of my favorite beers!)
I have a 4 tap kegerator that is typically serving up homebrew, and everything's pretty well balanced - I get nice pours off my cornies, with just the right amount of head. I keep the temps in the upper 30's, 10 psi, 8' lines, and everything's been peachy.
But so far, every time I pour off the log, I fill 1 pint glass halfway with foam, dump it, and then get decent pours. But if I come back an hour or two later to it, I have to repeat the process.
What gives? Do you balance sanke's differently than cornies? Am I possibly applying too much pressure (in which case, I'd expect the pours to get better in another week or so)? Is there some common "thing" that needs to be done to a sanke coupler to avoid this problem that I just don't know about?
