Here's the outcome from switching the line length. Both pics were taken about 20 seconds after the pour. What a difference line length makes! BTW, the 4ft line was poured at 2 psi. The 10ft line was poured at 10 psi. I'm having a hard time believing how much of a difference the line length...

Yup, it's all foam. It was like the picnic tap was turning it into foam as it comes out. You can't see any liquid come from the faucet. but you know it's liquid going in because the line is clear.

I put a 10ft line on and poured just a bit of beer to push the starsan out of the new line... And as far as I can tell, it seem this might have solved my foaming issue.. I'm going to let the line cool to fridge temp for an hour or more then pour myself a glass to see how it works out. Wish me...

with wine, you use 1 campden tablet per gallon or 1/4 tsp of Potassium Metabisulfite for 5 gallons. It's to help with oxidation and will kill some bacteria. Good luck!

I found today that the only way to reduce the foam was to turn the CO2 tank completely off and release all the pressure from the keg. Then I had to just give it a quick burst (I'm talking less than 2 psi in the tank) of CO2 from the tank so there was some pressure to push the beer. When that...

Thanks, but I'm trying to keep the beer clear for bottling. I guess if I waited, the 1st slug of beer from the keg would remove the dead yeast and what not from if using priming sugar, but I figure why go through that step since I have the CO2.... Plus I might run into the same problem with...

I don't think that will work because the line looks to rigid. Looks like the same line used on my RO system. I'll keep the info you passed for when I do need it for a Keezer or the likes.. Looks like I'll just order the lines online. Can't seem to find the 7/16 OD bev lines locally. Thank you.

Sounds like I'll need a longer line.. I'm going to run down to HD later today and pick up 20ft of 3/16 in. I.D. x 5/16 in. O.D. x 20 ft. tubing. Man that's some thin walled tubing. Should I ditch that idea and order 3/16 ID x 7/16 OD tubing from Amazon? Will the wall thickness make any...

I'm using the 3/16 line that's 4 feet. I set it to 10 psi because so many posts say when they carbonate in their fridge/keezer/whatever, they have it set to 10-12 psi. My thinking is that once the beer temp drops and pressure normalizes, the co2 should equalize.. if its over carbed, my...

I made some fridge space and moved it in; set the regulator ro 10 psi. Do you think that'll normalize it so it stops the crazy foam? If not, what should I do?

That's what I figured when I started typing out the last post. I went to pour another glass and it's all foam still. I also went to my garage and cleaned out a section in my garage fridge.. had to throw out some stuff and rake out a couple of shelves, but I got the keg in there with the...

The problem is the I don't have any fridge space to chill the beer. My plan was to carbonate it in the keg, then bottle for storage. Bottles, I've got room for.. Keg is a no go..

Got home and tried to poor myself a glass.. And it comes out as foam. I don't get it.. The liquid line is clear, so I can see the beer, but when it comes out the picnic tap, it's just foam coming out. This is at 2 psi. I went ahead and put the pressure up to 10 psi and I'm going to let it...

Being that it seems like it's not taking any more gas, would that mean it's done carbonating? BTW, thanks for the info on the foam at room temp. When I get home, I think I'll pour a small glass to see how it looks.

Folks, could my beer already be carbonated? Last night, I put the keg outside with the CO2 attached. It was 49F. I brought it back in around 8am and when I shook it, it took a little CO2. I try shaking it again around 12 noon and it took a bit. Now at 4pm, I can't hear the CO2 tank hissing...

I wanted to do a closed transfer from my primary fermenter but wasn't sure how I could pressurize it. Next time I'll try a closed transfer but still may have to use gravity to push it into the keg. As for filling the bottles from the keg, I picked up a beer gun.. I cleaned the kegs with PBW...

Just got done with my 1st brew and I put it in a Keg to carbonate. I don't have refrigeration space, so I need to do in my basement, which is sitting right at 70 F these days. I looked at the carbonating charts, but they all stop at 65F so what should I do? For now, I set the regulator at...

What size shank did you end up using there? Thanks!

I ended up ordering a 2.5 gal keg.. Figured I'd have a better chance of finding a cooler to fit it.. Thanks!
