Are we calibrating our thermometers and taking a liquid temperature? The main reason we recommend 38 degrees is because the gas in the beer is most stable and the most beer tastes best at this temperature. Miller lite has 2.6 vols of CO2 and to attempt to maintain this recipe of carbonation as well as to prevent dispensing issues from the keg to the faucet, pressurize the keg with 14 PSIG.
This works fine, unless we are aliens and have supernatural powers which allow us to overcome physics, thus the laws of gasses.[}

llorene, please give us as many specifics as possible - temp., altitude, type of beer, inside diameter and length of line, etc. We are certain we can help.[8D]
