Batch of Red Ale inside a 5 gallon keg is pouring mostly CO2 with a bit of foam. Sprits of beer come through as well. It feels like there is at least 1.5 gallons of liquid left in the keg. I use a floating dip tube.
Since this is in my keezer (really just a chest freezer) and not my kegerator I have to use a picnic tap. I have to bleed the pressure from roughly 12 psi down to 3 psi or I get to much foam on the pour. My thought is that bleeding the pressure is causing excess foaming leading to my issue but I've been kegging for a couple of years and haven't had this issue before.
I've been able to lean the keg and get a little more beer out but it returns to foam/CO2 rather quickly. I don't want to do anything drastic because my beer has cleared up nicely after a couple of months in the keg.. don't want to move it much at all
Any thoughts?
