Bought a used kegerator a while back. My last keg I had in it was spot on, minimal head every pint. Now I have a problem I can't seem to figure out. I have balanced my system, made sure lines were not below the fluid level in the keg. I am still getting tons of head. I have to pour off first 1/2 to full pint then after that next one pours great with about an inch of head. What I have noticed is that after I pour, I look at my keg line and it starts foaming up in the keg line after each pour. There is a big air pocket at the top where the keg is tapped after about 10 seconds when I stop the pour.
I forced carbed this keg, then set pressure to maintain about 2.4 vols. I have 5 feet of 3/16 Id line and holding temp around 40 degrees. Any suggestions why I'm having to pour off the first 1/2 to full pint?
My pour temp is 40 degrees as well. I'm using commercial sanke kegs.
