Fob Monitor Problems

Fri Mar 11, 2011 5:05 am

We have just installed a new Glycol System and we are having trouble with our Fob Monitors. They keep shutting themselves off while pouring beer. Foam is also building up in them constantly also. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you

Although fob monitors are a bit out of my experience, I'll venture a wild guess... Make sure your system is balanced, and all parts are kept cold from the keg to the lines to the fob monitor to the shanks and faucets. Sounds like you are generating foam in the lines during the pour which could come from warm parts, serving at a pressure significantly below that at which the beer is conditioned, or sharp turns or dirt in the lines. Perhaps your new glycol system is not running as cold as whatever you had before?

You might also want to ask over on probrewer.com forums as they deal with this stuff more than us homebrewers.
