Over the last 3 weeks I’ve tried just about everything I can possibly think of to get my kegerator to stop spitting foam. Currently the setup is as follows:
(37 Degree Tempatures) Keg of Michelob Ultra (Full Size)
10- 12 Ft Brand New 3/16 Inner Diameter Beer Line
New Flow Control Perlick Tap
5lbs CO2 Tank with a regulator
Brand New Low Profile American Keg Tap

I have tried different hose lengths around 10-12 feet at PSIs ranging from 8-20, we are at 6500 ft Altitude in Colorado Springs so after some advice from the local brewery we turned the PSI up to no solution. We’ve bleed the internal Keg PSI like 6 separate times over the course of several days and tried again at different pressures. Still insane foam. I’m lost, I’ve bought brand new pretty much everything, tried every pressure and bleed the keg after every attempt over several days. Maybe I’m missing something with this specific beer or maybe the altitude is causing the CO2 to come out of solution really fast. I’m just convinced at this point, there’s gonna be a lot of Infantryman without beer for Christmas. Anyone got a Christmas miracle for some soldiers in need?
