well i have kegged my first batch. heres what ive done. i cooled the keg overnight, then i performed the shake carbonation method for 30 minutes
keg was 48 degrees and its a porter. i used 15 psi of co2 pressure. i then took off the gas and put it in the fridge overnight. then i purged the tank and tapped it. tap pressure was 7 psi. heres the problem. everytime i pour, i get massive foaming and it seems to kill the carbonation in the beer. im not sure where the excess gas is coming from because the dip tube draws from the bottom of the keg so i shouldnt have any gas in the pour right??? so im wondering if i have a bad poppet, or a poor seal on the dip tube, or a bad seal on the valve. i dunno, any input would be great.
