Foamy Transfer
Posted: Thu Jan 28, 2016 3:53 pm
I kegged my Irish Red this afternoon, auto-siphon from bucket on the counter into keg on the floor, SOP. Except that the transfer line kept foaming up, requiring more pumping to clear. About halfway through that stopped, the rest flowed nicely. I fermented this with 04 at around 60 degrees. Maybe it just held more CO2 at the cooler temp? Anyone had this problem?
It finished a little high too, 1.060-1.022. So I looked at my notes from last time I brewed this. Coincidentally, it was two years to the day between brew days and sample days for each batch. And the prior was also 1.022 after two weeks. For that batch, I warmed it for a week and got 5 more points. I'm keeping this one at room temp in the keg for a few days, and saved the sample to see if the reading falls.
