Default I might have the problem solved - we'll see in a couple days

I went to my local homebrew store and talked with the owner. He told me that Coors Light, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra, and most other light's are extremely tempermental. (Figure, my first Keg and get the tough one). He suggested that I switch out the beer line from the 5' I had to a 10', pump the co2 up to 13 psi. Doing this took care of the regulator issue, however I'm still getting about 50% foam with 50% beer.

How long should I expect to get a large amount of foam? The draw tastes great, looks great, and smells great. I have minimal bubbles in the beer line now as opposed to having several constantly flowing to the coupler and the shank. I also purchased a thermometer that hangs on the door of the converted fridge so I can get the temperature at the point of draw.

I've got my fingers crossed and hope to have pure, cold flowing beer very soon!!!!!!
