Ok Guys and girls,
I'm sure this is a often asked question. And yes I have done my home work, I have even called KeggConnection.com where i purchased 2 Corni Kegs, 5 Gallon, Ball Lock Set up with a Tapright Regulator and 5 pound CO2 Tank. I have been using this thing for about 6 months now but have had the same problem the whole time. FOAM!
I have Checked temps, Line Length, Etc. Let me give yall some background.
I brew 5 Gallon IPA batches often.
Right now i have a West coast style IPA i force carbonated in the keg, I did this by:
Cleaning and Sanitizing keg and lines,
Adding Beer,
Hook up the Gas Side and charge to 40 pounds CO2
Roll / Rock Keg for about 20 minutes
Leave on 40 PSI for 2 days
Drop psi down to serving pressure @ 4 pounds (Have tried anything from 1 to 12)
Pour a glass and get 3/4 foam 1/4 beer.... 2nd glass after dumping and rising glass 1/2 foam 1/2 beer. Wait for foam to settle and drink 1/2 glass of beer .... Repeat 3/4 foam ETC...... cant do this any more about to switch back to bottling.
Please ask away on questions ill answer and provide as many details as possible. Our Irish red did the same but balanced out at about half a keg we were able to get a pretty full glass of beer with a decent head (A bit more than we would like but the best pour we got) it was force carb'd the same way.
