I have a strange problem tap. I recently had staff complain about a keg on tap 1 excessively foaming. I could not find anything obviously wrong with it. So I switched the keg on tap 7 with the one on tap 1. The keg that was foaming on tap1 no longer foamed, and the keg I switched to tap 1 now started to foam. So obviously, a problem with the tap, right? So I tightened everything I could, cleaned that one line (I clean lines every 2 wks anyway), hooked up the keg again, and the problem continued. Then, since I had the next beer that was to replace that keg ready to go in serving tank 1, I went ahead and hooked it up, and lo! No foaming. Wtf?
There is no difference between any of my 8 taps other than distance, but there is not much in that. I have 8 taps, 6 served by serving tanks, the other 2 by kegs. They all go from tank/keg >> beer pump >> FOB >> tap. All air cooled. Distance is ~20-25'...total.
Am I missing something obvious here? Kegs perform fine on another tap (tap7), but foam on tap 1. Serving tank is fine on tap 1.
Thanks,
Dave
