newcastle, high altitude, foam, etc.
Just purchased a Haier Brewmaster & a full keg of Newkie and am sad because after the first day I've had nothing but foam. I've spent the last hour searching the forums for help and I think i want to play around with the pressure & temp, but my biggest question is, is my keg ruined now that I've played with the CO2 pressure so much? The result when I pour now is big, soapy bubbles that dissipate quickly and then totally flat nasty beer. The faucet/beer is plenty cold so I think the temp is stable from keg to glass.
I've tried 8 psi to 18 psi - doesn't help - still major foam
temp set to 32 degrees - which I may try to raise to 34, 36 - maybe that with the higher psi will help??
I live at 5250 altitude.
Should I scrap this keg and get something new/start over? Just thinking about all that wasted beer makes me so sad...
