Ok...new keg of bud light seems to be much better. Not overly carbonated, but it isn't flat either. Hopefully the beer maintains, as the last one started to taste skunky by day 2. There is still a chance that I screwed something up, but it is looking like I just got a bad keg.
It still pours a big head, but it isn't the same as the foam I was getting before. The foam would take quite a while to disappate, whereas the large head I get now (glass 1/2 beer, 1/2 head) drops quickly. I have not yet extended the beer line, but will do that tonight, as I think the large head could be from pouring too quickly.
No bubbles in the beer line again today, so I think I might have solved that problem. Still curious about what one can do to stop the faucet outside the fridge being a heat source. That seems inevitable to me, so the first beer will always be a bit foamy as it has to cool down the faucet?
Ok...my stupid question for the day: What is the downside of having too long of a beer line? If I am a patient man and I don't need a 10 oz beer poured in 4 seconds, is there any other downside besides it takes 15 seconds to fill my glass?
