Correct PSI and tube length for Schneider Weiss
I'm having problems dispensing a 50 l. keg of Schneider Weiss in my kegerator. With help from Micro Matic, I was able to procure a Type "M" coupler for this beer and thought I was off and running. The rep at the beer's importer (B United International) said Schneier Weiss has a native pressue of 29 psi @ 40 deg. F.(yeah, pretty high). Now, I'm a big fan of German wheat beers (have the setup for Hacker-Pschorr etc.) but this high of a psi is posing some problems of which I did not experience with the other German beers. I purchased new beer tubing for a 10 foot run thinking pressure would drop 2.5 psi per foot and the fact that my fridge temp of 38 F. is lower than the quoted spec 40 F.( usin Johnson Controls external probe). Regulator shows 29 psi but beer is complete foam even after an extended draw (5 1 liter glasses with no stopping). Please help draft gurus and forgive the excessive parenthesis.
