You may need to twist the CPFR counter-clockwise while pushing it into the ball lock connection to get it all the way in. Then reassemble the tap.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf the CPFR is not fully installed, the narrower end will protrude too far towards the tap and block the outlet, thus causing excessive foaming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIf you cannot get the spiral in far enough and more than 6mm protrudes, even if it is fully seated in the ball-lock, you can cut off a little. NOTE! If you cut too much and it becomes too short, the flow reduction will not be sufficiently reduced, and there will be too much foam due to too high a speed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThere is also a red o-ring inside the triangular nut, which you can check to make sure it is properly in place. If the parts on the Picnic Tap 2.0 are overtightened, the o-ring can move or be damaged, air can get in and you will have problems with foam. \u003cstrong\u003eTherefore, make sure that the nut is not overtightened\u003c\/strong\u003e (or undertightened). Many who have experienced a lot of foam have done so precisely because it has been tightened too hard, and the o-ring has been damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemember to open the tap fully at once when you are pouring.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eReview of Picnic Tap 2.0\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBeerGeeks in Israel has written a comprehensive review of Picnic Tap 2.0.
