I'm now getting a temp reading of 36 degrees at the bottom of the kegerator, but i'm getting a 32 degree reading at the top of the keg, right at the area where the beer line is coiled up. My therory is, maybe i'm getting excessive foam in all my beer pours, because the air going from the tube up into the beer tower, is drawing the 36 degree temp from the bottom of the kegerator. And the temp of the coiled up beer line of top of the keg is only 32 degrees, creating a temperature difference between the beer line inside of the beer tower, and the coiled beer line on top of the keg. Anyone have any suggestions on where I should place my fan at to try to get a 36 degree readout at the top of my kegerator? Also, I'm using a 7 ft, 3/16 beer line and i'm still getting a fast pour. Should I increase my beer line to maybe 10 ft and then go from there? I am getting a beer temp readout of 36 degrees, with my psi set at 15, and I'm using coors light. Thanks for all the help and advice!

I would point the circulation fan down if it's mounted on top of the keg, and at the cooling plate if it's rear mounted. This will mix the upper and lower air and hopefully give you a more even temp inside. I use the excess air out of my blower and have it aimed up, blowing up the cooling plate, blower is bottom mounted. As for the coors light the pressure sounds about right, 15-16psi so you may want to legthen the line to 10 ft and then shorten as required if needed.
