Having trouble dispensing mr dark ale I pick up from a local micro having tough time getting beer without getting excessive foam I have never encountered this before almost always on my keezer beer temp 36* pressure on co2 10.2 psi going threw 60" restrictor line 3/16 id tried backing off co2 till barely off zero still same thing lots of excessive foam any thoughts?
 
I dropped the pressure to 2.5 psi was a little better poured foam then beer keg would sort of burp then more foam then beer how long do you think the beet line should be?
 
My LHBS suggests no less than 4 but I prefer more like 10-12. Basically with a longer beer line you can serve at higher psi without excessive foaming, meaning you can carbonate more. But for now you can probably serve just by shutting off the gas and venting the keg down to 1 or 2 psi before you pour each beer, but that's just a pain
