Foam City when using Last Straw bottle filler...

[Datsvibe]

Any help would be appreciated..

I have used the Last Straw filler on a few occasions with no issues whatsoever, however I am encountering a bottle full of foam when try to fill this Hefeweizen batch..

I started with the keg at 40 degrees and bottles unchilled- entire bottle full of foam.

Put bottles and keg in fridge overnight at 33 degrees, tried again in morning- same issue. Dang, can’t figure out what the issue is..

Tried setting the pressure at 12.. 8 .. 4 .. 2 .. no luck!

My guess is the C02 volume. It’s around 3.0, higher than previous batches. Is it impossible to use a counter-pressure filler at that volume? I’m at a loss (of beer).

It fills fine with a picnic tap into a glass. Nice head that lasts til the last drop... Perhaps it’s slightly over-carbed?

Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Apologies if this is the wrong forum.. new to the site, just noticed there is a kegging/bottling section.

The higher carbonation level means difficulty bottling from the keg for sure. You could try a longer line before the filler, and that may help a lot.
