HopRocket Randall Foam & Stopped

[TimmyR]

I hooked up my HopRocket in-line on my draft system last night. At first it foamed like crazy then just stopped pouring.

I am going to disassemble and see why its blocked but I wondered if anyone had any tips for foam-free pouring when running draft beer thru 3 oz of hops.

I haven't used my hop rocket as a randall yet, but would love to hear any tips on making it work well as a randal

So I killed the pressure to it for 24-hours and let it sit. Now it's flowing fine with little to no foam. Jury is still out if massive fresh Cascade in my Brown Ale is a good mix. It is a bit overpowering with grassy notes...almost plastic-like phenols. I am going to give it another day or so...before I look at maybe a different hop variety in the rocket for this style.

What's the best hop to "Randall" an American Brown Ale with?

Janets Brown uses centennial as a dry hop

Really good point. For some reason I think the Cascade is not quite the right flavor.
