I haven't taken a temperature reading of the dispensed beer, but I know it's not overly cold. Is my beautiful beermeister defective?
These units are critical charge as far as refrigerant goes. If you find frost coming all the way back to the compressor when the unit is down to temp then it is overcharged.
If you simply have a good sweat coming back to the compressor, that is a good thing - not a thing to worry about.
