Stand-up kegerator fridge. Using I believe 12' of bevseal ultra line per tap w/John Guest fittings. Currently have coils ziptied and hanging generally around / above the top of the kegs / QDs.
I notice on pretty much all three kegs an air bubble or two at the highest point in the outermost coil(s) (more than I do tiny bubbles at the QD). First pour is usually a bit more foamy as a result of this. I replaced O-rings and lube the QD O-rings and lid seal every time they're re-exposed. Did not replace poppets, or I guess the tiny poppet O-rings (not normally incl in a 'recondition' pack, etc). I've read bubbles / CO2 in the line is generally dip tube O-ring, but I replaced those, so...something else?
Have my controller set to 40*, insulated probe bungee'd around the bottom of a keg. Beer in glass temp is maybe 4-5 degrees higher last I checked. Have had PSI set to around 11 / a smidge above 10. My beers generally look like the attached pic in the glass, which is a bit weird to me (the way there's so much bubblage hanging to the glass I guess). My mouth hasn't suggested anything is off in carb...but is that pic suggestive of overcarb, or am I just being crazy?
