So I am at a complete loss. I have tried just about everything and cannot get it right. I have a setup with a old tower kegerator that I have converted to go through a wall. I used this instruction here https://www.micromatic.com/dispense-...m-refrigerator.
Once complete my beer has always been inconsistent. I have all stainless shank and a perlick stainless faucet. 12 ft of 1/4 inch hose. run miller lite. I used to run at 6 psi, but beer a lot of times would come out flat tasting, and would always have a large gap in the beer line and would get foam until I get past that gap, with good beer after unless pouring a lot at a party in which I would always have good pours, while I always felt it was ever so slightly flat tasting compared to at a restaurant. To beat this I thought I would buy a flow control faucet. I also just replaced my keg coupler with a new all stainless one. Long story short my problem has gotten worse. I turned up my co2 to about 13 psi, which made the beer in the line look perfect. No moving bubbles, or air pocket. Now a pour comes out consistently with about 95% foam. I can open the flow control all the way up or trickle it out and I still get the same result. Does anyone have any ideas. I am thinking of going back to my old non flow control faucet to see if it is better tonight, but if I have it opened up I was getting about 35% foam with the psi set to 12-13.
beer temp on first pour after leaving for a long period is about 39 degrees, and second glass is around 34 degrees. No huge elevation change, similar to the height of old tower. My problem is that the beer in the line looks perfect, and even as I turn the flow down to a trickle with the flow control on the perlick 650ss I still get all foam.
If I turn off the co2 and drain all beer out of the line until I cannot anymore, then turn the air back on I did get one good pour right after last night, but tested again this morning and was back to all foam. I have disassembled the sankey, and removed to faucet and put back on but have not been able to get to the back of the through wall shank and really would rather not have to if possible.
Please help!
