Hey guys,
I used my corny kegs for the first time on my last brew, with mixed results. They are 9L kegs, pin lock, and I'm using a tap attached directly to the disconnect, with the idea of it being fairly portable.
I filled them and hooked up the CO2, and set the regulator to about 30PSI. I left each keg like this for a few days, then disconnected the CO2. This was done at room temperature.
On serving, I vented the kegs and used minimal CO2 to dispense the beer... And it was ridiculously foamy. The first keg was used at a party and was basically useless! I vented the second off a lot and took it on holiday, with more success.
Basically, how am I best to carbonate without excessive foam? My next brew will be kegged this week to take to a stag do so I need to sort it out!
Ta!
Chris
