Foaming issue

[jed1975]

I have 10' of 1/4 I/d beer line in my kegerator carbed at 12 psi for 2 weeks fridge temp 4degrees still with at least half a glass of foam, my question is would I be better of using 3/16 I/d instead of 1/4 I/d or just increase the length of the 1/4 line?

I run 3/16" line at 5'(feet) at 9 psi ... No foam..Also using lowes vinyl tubing, trust me..it works,no foam or off flavors.

Ok thanks will give the 3/16 line a try.

I've never used any line from Lowes, but for beverage tubing, I love the barrier tubing (called something like "ultra bev-flex"). For barrier tubing, 10-12' is probably needed for 3/16" line.

You definitely want food grade tubing, no telling what crap the Lowes tubing might leech into your beer. It's worth a few extra bucks.

I doubt this is our problem but when i first started kegging my regulator was broken and even though i had it set to 12 psi the pressure kept rising so when i poured i got mostly foam. Something to check at least
