Foam. Yikes.

Had a small leak around the quick disconnect of my keg.

I figured it was the post (after swapping disconnects) so I de-pressurized , unscrewed post, checked fittings, put keg lube on o-rings. Still leaking.

Came to realize it WAS the disconnect, but where the QD screws on the to the barb. So I cut off the old one, and replaced the entire QD with barb. No leaks, hooray.

However, im getting a ridiculous amount of foam now. Did I upset the beer gods?

Did the tubing etc get warmed up while all this was going on?

Cheers!

Cheers!

most of the tubing stayed in the keezer, but I did dip about 2 inches of tubing into hot water to get the barb on. maybe I need to wait a day or 2 and hope it just balances out.

Just an update incase anyone ever runs into this... Solved the foaming issue.

The flange at the top of the dip tube was slightly bent. I straightened it out, replaced w/ new o-ring.. and no more foam for the ESB. Cheers!

By the way, beautiful beer. Love the "old" west coast style with some color and yeast flavor.
