Hey all;

I am new to kegerators. I set up the Keg using the directions that came with the kit. The first few pours were fine, but then the next day everything became very very foamy. I thought it was a temperature thing, so I got that zero'd in to high 30's. When the Foam didnt change, I started turning down the pressure. Now I've got the pressure valve on the regulator turned ALL the way down, yet the pressure gauge climbs. This past weekend I left friday night with the pressure gauge reading 5 lbs, and when I returned this morning it read 50 lbs. Again, this is with the regulator dial turned ALL the way down.  Does anyone out there have any idea's why my pressure is all over the place?

On most regulators, ALL the way down (turning clockwise) means you have the PSI set to the max. You need to dial back (counter clockwise) and release the pressure from the keg to around 5-7 psi

One memory key on setting the pressure regulator screw: LEFT = LESS.
