I have acquired a commercially made dorm fridge type single tap kegerator and I just hooked up my first keg... I'm noticing that when I pour, the pour starts great, foams like a bastard for a second or two, then finishes great... After looking inside I think I see where my problem is... I think my beer line is too long. I haven't measured the length but I'd guess 4-5 feet. It appears to go straight up from the keg connection, loop down and go back up into the tower. I can see where there is a gap in the beer in the line (clear hose).
I'm guessing my pour starts with the beer already in the line above the bubble, I get foam when it hits the tap hits the bubble, then I get beer again...
I guess my question is, is there a proper length for the beer line in this type of kegerator? Can I just shorten the hose so it goes right from the keg connection into the tap with no slack?
I also have the regulator set @ 10 PSI. Bueno, no bueno?
