I recently kegged my homebrew and cannot get it to spit out good ol' beer...only foam and more foam. I feel as if I have tried everything.
My kegerator is sitting just below 40F, my beer line is 5+ feet. I have tried every level of psi from 1 to 12 with only 1-2 psi working. Everything is tight and secured. I have a beer tower cooler. It is not over-carbonated (at least it doesn't taste as such at all). Beer tastes great once foam settles, but why can't I get a consistent beer flow. Beer after beer is foam. I drank 5 beers that had settled last night just trying every possible thing, got drunk and still couldn't figure out what the problem is.
My only solution as of now is to keep at 10-12psi and when I want to serve, drop the pressure, purge the keg and serve at 2 psi....Lame.
Has anyone had this problem in the past?
On a side note, it only works at 1-2 psi using an old black spicket that we had all used in high school kegs. When hooked up to my beer tower tap/faucet, it spits out only foam at a slow rate.
Any help or guidance out there?
