I do have a problem though, we want to be able to have 4 different types of beer on tap in the house and so far the pressure has been distributed equally causing lots of foam.

What would be the least expensive way to get rid of the foaming. I am sure we could do 4 different tanks but without running new hoses to each keg and having 4 c02 tanks what would you do?

On a side note how often should I clean this baby? So far we are on our 4th or 5th keg on each hookup.
Are you sure that the pressure is causing the foaming? What's the beer temperature? Pour a beer, chug it. Pour a second beer. What's the temp of this beer?

You should really clean your lines after every keg. I clean mine every two weeks regardless.

What kind of beers are you dispensing? What is the pressure on your CO2?
