We are make large batches at about 20 gallons and we are filling a sanke keg. We remove the ring, remove the spear and sanitize it and then fill. We have been adding sugar to carbonate.
The draft system that is used is is a 70 - 80 foot run with a gylcol pack. The pressure is set to 20psi (we have moved that up and down to try and solve the issue, but the commercial stuff I buy is working without foam all of the time). The temperature in the line and cooler are at about 38 degrees.
We just aren't sure where things are going wrong. We've talked with other brewers and they've given suggestions but they haven't worked. If you have any addition questions about our process, I'll get you the answer. We just aren't sure where are process is breaking down. We let some pressure out of the keg prior to tapping it as it does build up pressure while fermenting. We do have conical fermenters prior to putting it in the keg. We've rolled the kegs prior to tapping.
Thanks for any help.
