Hello,
I have a 5 gallon corney keg that I home brewed with my buddy. I watched him carbonate the keg by hooking up the C02 to the "in" and force carbonate the keg....I do not remember the PSI he injected the keg with and I cannot get a hold of him.
His process: Hookup the C02 tank and turn the keg upside down and right side up (letting it equalize) listening for the air exchange within the keg...once the exchange stopped...he put it in the kegerator and voila....foam free beer
I do not remember the PSI's he used for force carbonation.
so.....
I watched a video on youtube and the guy cranked up the regulator to 40 psi and did the same process my buddy does for about 20-25min.
I did the same thing. I put it in my kegerator...gave it 5 psi for dispensing and holy sh*t I got foam...crazy amounts of foam. I decided to turn off the C02 tank in the kegerator to slow down the flow and it kinda helped...still getting foam but drinkable.
WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
PLEASE HELP.
Thanks for the time.
Joe
