I tapped into a brown ale (2 gal) I brewed a few weeks back and I get all foam even at 9PSI and the beer itself is not as carbonated as I'd like it to be. What can be the problem?
Agreed. But he'll still have to degas the beer that's in there, otherwise, while it will improve, the improvement will be gradual.Short hose will allow all the CO2 to dissipate into foam , leaving none in suspension. Make sure you have at least 7 feet of hose for that pressure. You didn't mention how you'd carbed but if you're holding at 9 PSI for a couple of weeks, there's no reason it wouldn't be fully carbed.
One thing you can do is to purge the keg completely and then raise pressure just enough to push through the tap. You should get no foam at all and the carb level will be easy to judge.
