Same line - one foams, one doesn't...

[andy6026]

So everthing that I've read suggests to me that if you get too much foam coming out of the keg, then the system isn't balanced and the beer line should likely be longer...

However, when i hook up a different keg to the exact same beerline, i get a pefect pour. They've both been carbonated exactly the same off a split gas line.

The only difference ia that the foamy keg was only 3/4s full when I started carbing it. The other keg was completely full.

How do I solve this problem?

Edit: I've also checked and double checked extensively for a leak allowing air into the foamy keg using soapy water anywhwre that might possibly be a problem... No leak.

I'm stumped.

Definitely sounds overcarbed. Since the one keg was less full than the other, it would have carbed up faster.

+1 for this solution. Ive only had to use it once, but it worked like a charm
