Hi all,
I am running a 3BBL brewery in New Zealand. We've only been selling beer for about a month and things are going pretty well so far. I got my beer into a pub which required me to install my own tap system for them. So I installed a two tap beer tower on their bar, with the lines running pretty much straight through the floor into the cellar below where the kegs are in a refrigerator.
The bar owner has complained that whenever he pours a beer for the first time in a while, that it pours a lot of foam before the beer starts coming out good. So he says that he looses a bit of beer because of this. If he pours pints within a few minutes of each other this doesn't happen.
Do you guys have any tips for how I can modify the setup to reduce the amount of foaming? The beer lines are currently about 6 meters long from the fridge to the taps. The lines themselves are not refrigerated but I have put them inside insulative foam casings to try to keep them coolish. Obviously this doesn't work too well if the beer sits still in the line for too long.
One option I have is to make the beer line about 1 meter shorter, I guess that will help a little but not a lot!
