Basic question, should they be different? I'm having issued withy the keg of dopplebock that I kegged two weeks ago. I had the fridge set a 45 degrees and the PSI at 15. This should have given me about 2.5 volumes. I did the 'set and forget' method, no shaking.
When I try to pull a glass now, all I get is foam. I have 10 feet beer lines so I don't think line length is the problem and I am using a picnic tap, so I can adjust the height of the tap. Nothing seems to correct the foam.
I asked the guy at the LHBS and he said the carb PSI should be the same as the serving PSI.
Part of me thinks that I should bleed the excess CO2 in the tank and the serving PSI should be lower, like 3-4. But then it seems that if the serving PSI is lower, the beer will eventually equalize with the new headspace PSI and will go flat.
Some direction would be greatly appreciated.
