Paddock view brewery
Something is seriously wrong (new to kegging). I brew IPA (American style e.g verdant light bulb). The last 2 brews have turned to first froth (like a wippy ice cream).beer is pretty much flat! I’m replacing all beer lines to 3/16 from 5/16 reducing direct from John guest keg fitting through to a reducer going in to tap. Will likely do 10m too, in a view to starting from scratch and I’m also changing my tap to flow control tap but if honest, I don’t hold much hope as I feel the beer in keg is frothy, not the line caused by speed of flow (I did have a reducer on 3/8 to 5/16 but took it out as thought it was that creating the froth. I carbonated on 20 for 4 days and the remainder on serving pressure 12 psi. Keg is set to 3degrees. I recently lost a whole canister of co2 due to a leak so have been cautious by turning co2 off at night at first but it’s definitely had 2-3 weeks of being left on. What can be the cause of the flat beer and huge froth mountain in the keg? I haven’t opened the keg and would rather not as it should be half full (I’ve only ever got froth out of it.
I wouldn’t mind betting it’s all frothy beer is there as opposed to the line causing it, but could be wrong. Any of you more experienced beer buddies know what I can do?
