just getting by, one beer at a time!
So, I built a keezer last year, and I have ran a lot of kegs through this thing. I have been through the sticky threads but have not found anything for what I would like to know. I like to have my beer carbed a little higher than normal. I don't know why, just do. That being said, Whether I force carb, or naturally prime, after about a week the beer goes flat. I have noticed that once the keg is down to the last quarter, it seems to be carbonated to my liking. I have used line balancer calculations and all of that stuff, but pretty much they say with my specs, I would need 3.7 feet of 3/16 tubing. I could barely get away with 6 psi on a 6 foot line. I had 10 ft lines laying around so I swapped them out this past weekend The beer is able to get to about 9 psi now, but any more than that and it pours a lot of foam. I was hoping to get the beer to 14 psi or so to see how that effects the carbonation level, but is not possible due to the foaming situation. So, anyone out there have any tips for this? I am always going in circles adjusting my psi, and there has to be a better way. The next step would be to purchase some perlick flow controls. Thanks
