Made adjustments... now stuck with foam.
Hey guys,
So I broke the rules... I tried to fix something that wasn't broken... and now its broken.
I am running Guinness in the Danby, using the 100k resistor, with the temp probe extended and mounted on the top of the kegerator. I had my guinness pouring at 34 degrees, at 32 psi, slightly lower than Guinness recommends... and everything was PERFECT. Good amount of head, great temperature.
So... one evening, after not pouring a pint for a few days, my beer line froze. No big deal, the keg wasn't frozen. So, I thought this would be a good time to install my new liquid thermometer inside of my kegerator. I figured having the door open for 30 minutes would thaw the line, allow time to install the thermometer and voila. So... stupidly, I took the keg out of the fridge for about 30 minutes, and turned the gas up to 38psi... what Guinness recommends (even though there was no problem before.)
I noticed my temps went up to 42 degrees later that night (about what Guinness recommends) and all I get is foam... nothing else. I turned my gas back down to 32, purged the gas line and the tap at the keg, let sit for 48 hours, and chilled the beer temp down to about 37 degrees. Still foam.
Any ideas?
