What is up with this?
Here is my set up:
I have been using picnic taps since I started kegging and decided to turn my fermentation chamber into a dual-use kegerator. I bought an Intertap faucet and I'm running 6 feet of 3/16 ID beer line to the keg.
Last week I was ready to try my first pour from my Porter that I brewed, but I got about 60% foam and 40% liquid for my first few pours. I was serving at about 10 PSI, so I lowered in to 5-6 like I would do with the picnic tap. That helped for one or two pours.
A few days later, I go to pour a glass and I get nothing but gas and a little foam. My first thought was, hmmm, maybe I'm out of CO2. Turns out I was.
Today I hooked up a new tank and the same thing is happening. Nearly everything that comes out is air (or CO2?). I have no idea what is causing this.
I doubt it matters, but I am serving out of the fermenting keg with a floating dip tube.
