Just tapped a full 5-gallon keg of Dry Irish Stout. But there is excessive foaming from the Intertap faucet (with a self-closing spring installed). Pressure is set at 12 psi and temperature at 42F. Note the other keg is pressurized from the same CO2 source, pours fine, and has a self-closing spring installed on an Intertap faucet). After letting things settle down after drawing a sample glass, the next day there is some gas visible in the liquid line.
I have replaced the o-ring on the beer line outlet dip tube, thinking there might be gas leaking past a bad o-ring and into the liqiud line. But this has not solved the problem.
Never had this issue come up before, so I am at a loss as to why the foaming and gas bubbles appear in the liquid line. Maybe the dip tube has a pinhole leak above the liquid line? Seems unlikely, but I might try and replace the dip tube as my next course of action. I have used this keg numerous times without any problems before. Anyone have some other suggestions as to what the issue could be?
