I can't figure it out...new beer line

[Sammy86]

Just got new 10 ft. 3/16 ID beer lines. My beer is carbed very nicely but I can't get any head retention on any of my pours...here are the details and a pic...

Kegerator set at 37°
10 ft. Ft 3/16 ID tubing
14 PSI
Picnic Tap dispenser

Any ideas, thoughts? View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1464221223.728456.jpg

Holy cow - that may well be the most hideous pour of all time!
Did it look like that right out of the faucet, or did that take some time to totally flatten out?

What made you believe "My beer is carbed very nicely"?
Because I'm not seeing anything to back that up...

Cheers!

Doesn't look carbonated. Did you force carbonate it? What psi and how long? Is your keg leaking?

Did my regular carbing 30 PSI 24 hours 20 PSI 48 hours serving pressure 48 hours served been on gas for going on three weeks beer is definitely carbonated...the beer tastes carbed there isn't any head...no leaks on the system either did the check with starsan spray bottle nothing out of the ordinary except the new beer lines which like I said are 10 ft serving pressure on this was 14...I'm stumped

That is about 10-15 minutes after pour

Beats me. Only time I have had that problem it was from a leak.

So after doing some research and a little math turns out having the PSI set at 14 was not correct...needed to be set higher here are the results View attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1464478387.222171.jpgView attachment ImageUploadedByHome Brew1464478406.850340.jpg
