So I have my spare fridge set up now for keg dispense and have a 20l keg from my local craft brewer in there (Galt Knife Old Style from Grand River Brewing fwiw). I will be talking to the brewer there next week for some input but thought I would check here as well.
When I pour the beer I get a LOT of foam. The beer is not really pouring out the tap but it's not blasting out the tap either. It's coming out with some velocity. I have the regulator set quite low: 6psi. Higher was worse and I did dispense some with the CO2 turned off as well.
I can't find the balance point.
I know they carbonate to 2.4 vol at the brewery and my fridge is at 4ºC. I have purged the keg through the coupling head but that only helps in the short term. I'm not pouring as often as a pub would but would like to be able to enjoy a well poured pint a couple of times a night.
Suggestions?
