I am new to serving keg beer, and hate to admit that I actually bought a keg of microbrew for a party. I guess that will teach me not to make my homebrew too far in advance or it will be gone! I served my homebrew, an Old Speckeld Hen knockoff at about 10 psi, 40 degrees fahrenheit, with about
12 feet of 1/4" tubing. I tried to get 3/16" but my LHB shop only had 1/4". It served beautifully, so that seemed to be teh correct amount of line for that pressure. When I serve the microbrew, an American Style Ale from Old Dominion in Virginia, it foams like crazy, and wastes a LOT of beer. I started with the same tubing, at 40 degrees, which seemed to yield a decent level of carbonation, but I could not serve it without getting 2/3 of a glass in foam, every glass. I tried lowering the pressure, as it seemd like I did not have enough tubing, and it stayed teh same. I have tried serving it everywhere from 5 psi all teh way to 15 psi, with little or no difference. I'm confused. What am I missing?Scott
