I got the info, not that we really need it any longer since it sounds like we found the problem, but here it is just for reference. I measured the temp in the fridge using the glass of water trick. Temp of the water was 37.1F, and then we poured a beer and checked its temp which came out to be 37.3F, so at least they agree. My beer line size is 5/16" I.D. and is only ~18" long, pressure is currently 2.5 psig. Boy talk about screwed up, I can't imagine how many other home keggers or even restraunts for that matter, make the same mistakes as me. I really learned a lot in the past day, thanks to you guys.

I am going to change the line to 6' of 3/16" as recomended, and will raise my pressure to ~12 psig. I'll report back after this is complete and let you know how I made out.

Oh, is it ok to use tygon tubing for beer transfer? It is food grade tubing.

Thanks again for the help, you guys are great!!
