Sanke vs Cornie line length

[thantos]

Hey all,
Just added two more taps to my set up for a total of four, and dedicated two of them to sanke kegs, while the other two are for home brew cornie kegs (ball lock).

Went out and got a couple of local brewery kegs and now I have foam city.

Line length is the same for all taps, CO2 pressure is the same for all taps, but the sankes foam like crazy and the cornies pour perfect.

Taps are all the same brand and style.

Set up is as follows;
1/4" ID tubing
12ft long
2'-2" from center of taps to center of kegs
9-10 psi on the CO2 to all kegs
38 def-F temp

I am wondering if the sankes are carbed higher or lower and maybe thats the cause?

Thanks,

12' of 1/4" ID is the problem. Most have good results using one foot of 3/16" ID tubing per CO2 psi (with that pressure determined by temperature and desired carbonation level).
Take a test drive of the only beer line length calculator worth using...

Cheers!

Could be that beers you bought are carbed higher.

9-10 psi is kinda high for 12’ of 1/4”.
I have 10’ of 3/16” and it starts to get foamy at 9-10 psi @ 32*F.

could also be tap temp.
tower?
