Hey Guys
So I put down my first brew in about 25years a few weeks ago now, a Mexican Cerveza, double batch and kegged it
just under 2 weeks ago. I had a few issues at the time and the help I recieved here was greatly appreciated and now
I need a bit more advice.
I refrigerated the keg for 1 day and then hooked up the gass and set the reg at about 15psi, after 3 days I purged the
head of the keg and reduced the pressure to approx 10psi and the fridge temp is sitting around 2 degree C.
Poured a couple of samples off the keg yesterday and although it doesnt taste too bad (even at this early stage ) it is
pouring like foam.
If I pour into a jug or glass I will get at least 80% of the pour will be all head and I have to let it sit for around 5 minutes
for the huge head to dissapate before I can have a drink.
The reading that I have done indicates that my beer line from the keg to the tap should be roughly around 10ft but at
this point it is only around 5ft.
Could this be my problem or have I screwed something else up.
Any good sugestions where I go from here.
Cheers
Peter :huh:
