After weeks of tinkering with my recently purchased kegging equipment, I finally had a totally successful setup (after many great recommendations from this forum)! Went through a whole keg for a party, and it was perfect pours and perfectly carbonated beer every time!
Cut to last week: I had a Weiss beer and an IPA ready to keg at the same time.
Placed them both in my kegerator, set them both to 30 psi for about 30 hours. They were a bit warm when I placed them in there, but the kegerator temp is at about 38-40 degrees. I have a single regulator with a T split to allow 2 kegs at the same pressure. Both taps and lines were just cleaned. Lines are 3/16" @ 12' length. Serving PSI was at 14 (at 12 PSI, I was getting excessively slow pours given my line length)
After 30 hours at 30 PSI, I lowered to serving PSI and went to pour myself a sample. Wasn't expecting either to be fully carbonated, but thought I would try them out. They were both jostled around about the same amount, no excessive shaking, or anything else different between them except the style.
Keg 1, the IPA, poured perfectly after the crud from the bottom of the keg came out. Still could benefit from a few days of carbonating.
Keg 2, the Weiss beer, poured ALL foam!
Given that everything was exactly the same (except style of beer), how is this possible? What can I do to fix the Weiss keg, while still continuing to carb my IPA?
