slow and foamy
Totally new to this game, but didn't see any postings that exactly matched my situation. I got a Haier kegerator from Best Buy that came with the full set-up (top-mounted draft tower, C02 supplies, etc). Being a total newbie, I bought myself a 1/4 keg of Yeungling Lager and didn't put it in the fridge right away - just let it sit in my basement for a couple weeks assuming keg beer was like cans or bottles and could last without refridgeration.
I cooled the what now I know must be completely spoiled and flat keg to around 38 degrees, tapped it and turned on the C02. What I got was a super slow pour of nearly 100% foam every time no matter what pressure I set the C02 regulator to. I'm definately going to get a fresh keg and try again by immediately refridgerating, but just to be sure I don't have any other issues I wanted to know...
Why was it pouring so slow? The pour rate was exactly the same no matter what pressure I set it at - even experimentally at the highest pressure I could get. Shouldn't the pour get faster as the pressure is increased (even if it's not optimal for the beer at high pressures)?
Help!
