Ok...


please help me, before my head explodes.

Haier Brewmaster (Best Buy, $349 with a coupon)

Foster's 1/2 Bbl

I have tried EVERYTHING to balance this system, but I still have minor foaming issues. Right now, I am set-up as follows, and it won't make any sense...

internal temp of fridge (measured with a fridge/freezer thermometer from Sunbeam) is 30 degrees

liquid temp (measured in a 12 oz. glass of Miller highlife with a Sunbeam cooking thermometer) is 36 degrees. The top 1/4 inch of beer in the glass is frozen solid, but under that, just cold beer. I tried this with water, same result.

Simple laws of physics would suggest that if the beer in the glass is frozen, the beer in the keg would also be close to freezing, but so far, this temp combination, combined with 12PSI, has yielded the best results, although I STILL have to use a pitcher to catch the first glass and a half or so, which I am sure is due to the tower temp...

my concern however is that the beer in the keg, is too cold under these conditions...

your expert tootilidge would be greatly appreciated.
