After 24 hours, a digital thermometer in a quart of water reads a steady 36 degrees. Being new to this, any tricks of the trade would be greatly appreciated. Right now I have the 5' lengths of beer and gas tubing installed and will try my CO pressure at 13. Thanks in advance and happy drinking!! (is there any other?!?)

I put it together, (Notice all Micromatic parts) set the thermostat to normal (Never did a liquid test, but the air temp is 36) loaded it up and never had to touch or tweek a thing. After reading all the disaster stories on this web site, I breathed a sigh of relief. I am finishing up my third keg and it has been smooth sailing. I love this sucker.
One issue was when some of my friends would pour their own, they would get a lot more foam than I did. Then I discovered they were not opening the tap all the way when they poured. Once I told them that, there were no problems. Odd, with all my reading on this forum, I never read that opening your tap 1/2 way could cause foam. Maybe some one else can learn from this.
Well, it is Friday, got home from work 45 minutes ago, almost ready for my first pour.
Bottoms up.
