Well, not really… but it seemed like a better title than ‘Glass Full of Foam’.
.

.
Yes, we let the keg sit still overnight. And yes, we had the kegerator set to the proper temperature… but we were still getting full glasses of foam. The only thing left to do was adjust the CO2 flow, you know…. the thing I kept telling my husband we had to do even though he said we absolutely positively didn’t have to.
So I did what any self respecting beer drinker would do…. I sent him to the house on an errand, then made the adjustment myself.
Viola!

The perfect glass of beer. ( And yes, the placement of my “At Last” prohibition glass from the FDR museum in Hyde Park was most definitely on purpose )
Did you know fruit flies are attracted to beer taps? I didn’t either, but who can blame them.
.

.
The solution? Plug the tap when not in use. And if you want to put your womanly mark on the man cave? Do it with a pink wine bottle stopper.
.

.
That way it will match the pink bell and pink cocktail napkins already on the bar.
🤣
Next up was the shorty tap handle I ordered from Allagash.

I’ve been told I can pick something for myself for the second keg. Hmm…
My favorite amber ale? That luscious chocolate cherry sour? Or maybe a nice hard cider?
Decisions, decisions.

Hard cider! Hibiscus cider is fantastic!

There are usually 20 official samples and 10+ unofficial. I have them all, and repeat the good ones as the event winds down.

So, did hubby acknowledge that you were right about adjusting the CO2 flow….or did you not tell him and let him think the problem resolved itself?

I told him. Of course I told him.
He did not acknowledge.

Probably not available in Maine (it’s a Hartford area brewery), but City Steam Naughty Nurse Amber is delicious. The tap handle is, well, interesting, as you might imagine.

My choice would be cider, but I’m intrigued about the chocolate cherry sour.

Does your wrist have rabbies ? Or are you still learning how to adjust the Kegerator ? As for flavors under the circumstances cold and wet sans suds will do. However if I am going to push my luck a raspberry ginger beer would be most excellent. Cheers

It seems like every time we pour a beer we get a different amount of foam. It’s quite annoying.

I vote for the hard cider…Stella Artois….Angry Orchard is okay, but Stella is better.

Hint (from an ex-bartender) You tilt a glass when filling it in order to get little or no foam!!

Do you think I just fell off the turnip truck? I know that. Even tilted it was all foam..

Don’t worry about whether it’s 1/2 full or 1/2 empty.

Fantastic! I’m not a fan of the hard ciders, but most people are, so that’s certainly a contender for those who will visit the barn to partake this time of year 🙂

It’s hard to pick something everyone will like… even with ciders. Dry or sweet? Traditional or fruited? Unfiltered or clear?
Think I’ll just please myself.
