Default lots of foam

I know - not an unusual thread around here. But I thought I would post to have a thread tailor-made for me.

I have a Summit kegerator(seems no one talks about this brand even though it is one of the cheaper ones). I started with a 6th of Victory lager and now I have Paulaner Oktoberfest in it. But I can't seem to find that balance between temp and pressure to prevent/reduce foam. I am not sure of the ID of my beer line, but when I asked summit they said 1/2". I know that isn't correct. It's 30" in length. I have no problem keeping it at 38 (thermometer in a glass of water). Paulaner recommends 38 degrees at a pressure of 13#. So I did that as well as several other #'s but still get a lot of foam. At least half a glass even after the first glass has been poured. I am at 500 ft elevation if that makes a difference.

Thanks
