Mikey, how long is the 3/16" I.D. beer line between the keg coupler and the back of the shank, did you calibrate your themometer in ice water and did you check for any pressure leaks? Yes, two degrees does make a difference. I realize that these procedures may seem uneccessary and detailed. But if you truly want to enjoy draught beer, you must know the exact temperature, thus correct applied pressure and then correct length of 3/16" for flow speed. Never use pressure to control the flow. Plus, if you have pressure leaks, you will have a difficult time setting correct pressure.
