My goal is to keep the beer line temp at the same temp as the internal liquid temp of the keg. It takes much longer to change the temp of the internal temp of the keg, than it does the beer line because of relative surface area to cool. So if my Keg is stable at 36 degrees, but my temp of the refrigerator's ambiant air goes up to 39 degrees for 20 minutes, that beer in the hose will go up to 39 pretty quick! End results 2 different temperatures of beer, and... FOAM!!! until you have cleared the length of the beer line.

I don't think your going to find this to be too much of a problem. If the line temp gets over 41 - 42 deg you may see some foam. Besides trying to keep 1-1/2 oz of beer (6' of 3/16"ID line) the same temp as the keg, well good luck. The external Johnson Controls controller I use has a +- 2.5 degree temp differential, so I have a 5 degree swing in temp, but after the compressor shuts off the temp will drop another degree. So it kicks on at 38, off at 33 and drops to 32. Beer temp into the glass is 36. That little bit at 38 has not been a problem for me.
