Hi guys , since I started kegging I never seem to stop running into issues.
I'm using a cornelius ball lock which at first foamed like crazy , which I thought would be solved by switching the 1ft line it came with for a longer one.
Calc said I needed around 26 ft 1/4' Vinyl hose (3/16 isn't available in my country, dont así lol) to push beer at 14 psi from my 41° F fridge with a picnic tap.
And now the beer pours like a trickle and after a while it just pours straight foam, might it be too long a hose? Temp issues maybe?
I store the coiled hose and tap hooked up to the keg inside the fridge.
What could I try to narrow down the issue? I'll start by cutting the hose at least 3 ft , it just takes way too long for beer to get trough it.
Another thing I noticed is that sometimes the beer goes 'back' from the hose and into the keg , which leaves the last ft or so of hose before the tap full of air or some gas (the rest is full of beer). Is this normal?
Sorry for the wot , hope someone can chime in on this, kegging has been a pita for me
