I bought a jockey box to dispense beer for football tailgate parties. I wanted to use a jockey box, because I was under the impression that the keg could be kept out of the way and at room temperature and I would only have to "mess" with the jockey box. I attached a CO2 canister and the jockey box has 75' of SS coil. My problem is that the my beer is coming out all foam all the time. I normally keep the CO2 at 14 psi, but there is still lots of foam. I tried increasing the CO2 pressure to 35 psi thinking the beer's CO2 was coming out of solution, but all I get is more foam. I tried lowering the pressure to 0 psi, but still lots of foam. I'm running plastic tubing from the keg to the Jockey box. There are no kinks in the line and lines are clean. Under any pressure condition, if I fill a gallon jug with beer, I'll get 10% liquid and 90% foam.

Q1: Why is this happening to me? Do the beer gods hate me?
Q2: I thought the keg could be kept at room temperature. At tailgates, the keg can get quite warm. Is this assumption wrong?
Q3: Because the beer keg is warm is CO2 coming out of solution before it reaches the jockey box?
Q4: If the keg has to be kept cold, what is the purpose of a jockey box? Why not just dispense beer straight from the keg?
