all foam, all the time...
just moved to the mountains...got me a keg of fosters....hooked up the kegerator and poured my first beers...perfect head! for about a day or so....Then it got gradually more foamy...now it's all foam...the trick of pouring a glass of foam, setting it aside and and then immediately pouring a glass of beer doesn;t work...I'm at 4000'...originally my temp setting down in the flatland or 38 degrees, resulted in a temp setting of around 30-32 degrees up here...I have the machine in the laundry room by the back door where it's cold and drafty all the time....I originally hhad the pressure set at about 18psi.....so after adjusting the beer down to as low as 9 psi, and the temp to 38 degrees, I still have lots of foam...pouring out 20 oz or so into a pitcher still results in foam....currinetly at 11 psi annd 39 degrees...waited two days for the beer to stabilize at this pressure (drinking probably 10-12 beers during that time), but still all foam...the tower is 'cold' to the touch due to where it is physically located, so I don;t think that is an issue, especially since running 20 oz or more through the lines still results in faom.....looking at the line inside the fridge, and the beer looks solid, but there is a couple spots here and there where a little bit of bubbles form in pockets.....
frustrating....
I'm wondering about this little fiber washer with a small hole in the center that fell out of things as I was disassembling the thing for the move......I can't remember where it goes, I don;t have the mannual up here with me yet, and calls to the company service dept, are not returned yet after a week of waitiing...
anyone know where this fiber washer goes? Nothing is leaking anywhere, but when I first opent the tap some foam .spits' out like there is sir in the ine or something...but I think that is just that there is so much foam in the beer, that the gas seperates at the tap....
would greatly appreciate being pointed at an online exlode diagram for the tap system of the haier brewmaster....
