  • Pub Cellar: FloJet Beer pump and FOB detector - foaming problem, need help.

    Hi,

    We are setting up a "british pub", and I copied cellar hardware setup as seen in many real pubs in England: FloJet beer pump with FOB detector.

    And my problem is that when pumping, FloJet fills FOB with foam and everything stops.
    You can see it in the video: https://youtu.be/iZ0EZJ4sz6U

    My cellar temp is 10c/50f
    Keg was sitting at this temp for a week.
    Keg pressure set to 10psi,
    Pump gas pressure - 15psi.
    Beer is Fullers London Pride
    Nobody around here in Russia has a similar setup, so I don't know what to tweak - there are lot of variables for me.

    Please help.

    My best guess without looking at your whole setup is that your keg pressure is too low. At the very start of your video you can see a pocket of foam flow through the tube that leads to the pump. That's usually a sign that you need to increase keg pressure. Most manufacturers of pump-driven draft systems recommend 15psi of keg pressure and that's at refrigeration temps ~38f.
