Hi Guys,
This is the first time I have experienced this foaming problem.
The brew is a Corona (not the first time I have made it).
The issue is that when pouring, the glass is all foam which quickly turns to flat beer.
I carbonated the keg at pouring pressure (10-12psi) until ready to be consumed (aprox 2weeks) @ 2 degrees.
I originally thought that it was a case of over carbonation so I disconnected the gas and burped the CO2 to reduce the pressure for several days.
This didn't help.
I then noticed foam and bubbles in the beer line coming from the keg.
I know it is a cardinal sin, but I opened the keg to discover foam nearly to the top (keg should be 1/4 empty by now)
I replaced the lid and expelled the O2.
Is this level of foam inside the keg normal, or do I have an underlying issue?
Any advise will be much appreciated.
Cheers,
Jenks
