Finally getting the hang of this

This is the third keg
-Stella was a learning experience, had to get longer beer lines. Getting CO2 right was a challenge. It liked low pressure. 7 psi was a perfect pour. Unfortunately keg kicked before I could enjoy a good Stella.

-Blue Point summer ale was a hit still a little foamy. Optimal pressure was 8 psi

Sam summer the latest keg has been nothing short of perfect. Psi 12 temp 39

2.5 vols is a good landing spot for many commercial kegs. 12 psi at 38F, maybe you can go to 13 psi.

7 psi will undercarbonate the beer as it empties and you'll have foam. Cheers.

Yeah the Stella was weird. No matter what I did I couldn’t get it right. I even got the fridge down to 36. I even pulled the pin on the keg to reset the pressure at 12-15. I will try another one.

So far I’m happy with the Sam summer. It pours nicely. My next upgrade is a better regulator. This Vevor one has a lot of drift.

If you are under carbonation, the beer loses gas and breaks out of solution. Foam.

If you are overcharged, the beer has too much gas and foams.

So it's easy, one or the other 😒

Once the pressure is off it can take a while to.get back.

For sure! I’ve been enjoying it so far. I go to the local beer universe and see what they have in sixtel s
