Good day everyone,
I am looking for a bit of advice. I have an insignia kegerator from best buy. It's hooked into a temp controller. That is set to 34 degrees which results in a nice pour of 37 degrees, verified in glass number 2 by my trusty thermapen. About 2 weeks ago I got a keg of oskar blues pinner, and hooked it up. Everything was fine, perfect pours for days. Then all of a sudden a couple nights ago my pour got really fast and was all foam. I've poured probably 20 to 30 perfect beers out of this keg before it did this. Maybe more, I dont exactly keep track. So I figured I must've overcarbed it, and turned off the gas and pulled the pin several times a day, then hooked it back up. I have 15 ft of 3/16 beer line (long, I know, but I had foam issues before and this fixed it. I have run several kegs of beer with this line length without issue). I also clean my lines after every 2 weeks or at keg change. I use blc, and a homemade pump system to clean it. No nicks or cuts in my coupler seal. No gas leaks that I see. Initially I had the psi set to 16. I'd read ob's dales pale ale should be at 14, and I usually plus 2 because of my elevation above sea level, mile high in CO. I called the brewery and they said it should be at 40 psi!!????!!!??? No way, right? What went wrong? Any Ideas?
Tl;Dr poured fine for 2 weeks, then all foam and too fast. Circulating fan and tower cooler installed.
