Keg pour

[the-mailman]

I'm hoping someone can answer this. I carbonated my keg at 12 psi and use this pressure to serve and it had been pouring properly. Now that the keg is getting close to half empty it pours very fast and produces a lot of foam. Do I have to reduce the pour pressure as the keg empties or did I do something wrong with the carb pressure?
Thanks,
Bruce

I have this same issue. I heard increasing your line length will increase resistance and reduce foaming. I'll be testing this theory soon enough when I move from 4' lines to 10'.

It's the length of your hose man, it's too short (hahaha, I hear that all the time).

From what I understand, it's roughly a foot of hose per psi.

Thanks, I thought 6' would be long enough with a 2' rise but I guess not. Trial and error until I get it or maybe just tie a knot in the line to slow it down. lol

Buy 10 or 12' and cut back from there as necessary. I think 10' is pretty standard for a kegerator.

When I went from 4-5' lines to 10' I had much better luck.

2 psi per foot of line is the general rule so for 12 psi you should have 6ft of line

I ran 5' of line when I started kegging...12.5 psi....foam most of the time.

I now run 10' of line in each of my taps and have zero foaming issues

add more line using this https://www.everwoodavebrewshop.com/pro ... el-splice/.




we used this on 2 of my buddys fridges (both using tap towers where swapping lines is a bish) and worked like a charm
