Kegerator Forum: Newbie foam issues!

Posted:  23 Mar 2012 18:04
HELP! I bought a kegerator off of a friend a month or so ago. Cleaned it up and had to replace the gooseneck shank that attaches to the spout. Have had trouble with excessive foam since the first keg of Bud Light (Now on number 2). I have the temp at 38 and the line from keg to spout is approximately 3 feet. I have messed around with the pressure since I began and have had it from 2 to 10. I seem to have the "best" results after I pull the pressure release valve, let out all air and reset the pressure at ~2. But it still comes out flat and has at least 1/3 foam. Putting the pressure at 8-10 just spews foam out faster with 95% foam in the glass. What am I missing? Thanks in advance for any help.
