I have no idea, try to keep the pressure between 8-10 psig to minimize the foam problem.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Lower your pressure or increase the length of the line to your tap. Also, it could be because you don't have cold air in the tower. Cold air doesn't rise so you might need to install a computer fan to get cold air up to your tower. My beer guy is passionate. He also says if you use a glass it needs to be cooled. Good luck.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.First don't follow the instructions it says 10 to 12 psi lower it down to 7 or 8psi on the gas secondly I purchased a tower cooler on Amazon which keeps the tower and the faucet cold which helps to minimize foaming
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.If you get lots of foam during the first pour only and then it pours fine, the problem is with the fact that the beer that is sitting in the beer line in the tower is at room temp whereas the rest of the beer inside the kegerator is much colder. You solution is to find a way to cool the tower. There are commercial products available on a variety of homebrewing sites ($40-50) - just search for "beer tower cooler". Or you can make your own - it's a simple and fun project. Another reason could be the length of the beer line. Most likely, the line in this kegerator is way too short. Search for kegerator beer line length - there are plenty of great calculators out there. Finally, you can upgrade the cheap tap to Intertap or Perlick with flow regulator - this way you can control the flow much better.
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Set the Co2 regulator to 5 psi
Sorry, there was a problem. Please try again later.Lower co2 pressure and make sure that your hose leading from the co2 regulator to the keg is as straight as possible! Oh and make sure you at the proper temperature.
