It's my first batch, carbed it at 30psi for 2 days, released to 10psi, and I got pure foam. I drank a few last night (after they turned back into drinkable beer), then released the pressure and left it over night. Then I released the pressure a couple more times tonight before trying to pour. Still foam. My line is oversized (5/16 line on a 3/16 barb) and only about 3' long. It's just temporary until my order comes in this week, but is probably not helping. My real concern is that I have LOTS of bubbles coming out of the keg into the line while I pour, and when I close the tap, bubbles continue to rise out of the keg and form gas pockets at the tops of the curves in the line. Like I said, this is my first batch of home brew. I have had a kegerator for over 10 years and never had it foam like this. I had read that this was the quick easy way to carb on a few other sites, before joining this forum that is. I don't know what I was thinking, there apparently is no "quick, easy" way to any step of home brewing. I suppose that's why my overcarbed beer still tastes great to me.:rockin:
So just to confirm my suspicion, does it sound like I overcarbed?
