Foam: Beer Line Layout Question
I am using a summit kegerator and it seems as though every time I pour a beer, it turns out to be approx 3/4 or more of foam, but if i pour another beer immediately or soon after, it pours out properly.
Since most home kegerators don't have a fan blowing the air around and up through the tower, is this the result of the beer sitting in the line in the tower being warm? If so, is this then unavoidable?
I believe that I have the proper pressure in the keg, I clean the lines and faucet frequently, and I am using a 5' vinyl beer line.
Since I believe that pressure and temerature are not the issue, I am trying to troubleshoot this a bit more and was wondering if the layout of the beer line needs to be a certain way. There are no kinks in the line, but since the keg is only a few feet away from the faucet, the beer line does loop a few times. Does this negatively effect the pour? And if so, how should the beer line lay out?
Thanks
