Default Try Using a RFO

100_4076a.jpgThis is my first post, I have been reading all the feedback about too much foam, because I had the same problem. I did a lot of research and ended up installing a (RFO) Restricted Flow Orifice, It was recommended by a friend who was experienced in this area. The RFO is sold by Micro Matic, and is made for controlling the flow rate of the beer. It cost about $30 and requires either 1/4" or 5/16" tubing because of the fittings required for setup up. I attached the 5/16" tubing to the keg tap and 1/4" tubing to the other side of the RFO. I used a total of 5' of tubing all together and it works perfect. My CO2 pressure is set at 15psi because the altitude here in Albuquerque. I found out that most of the professional systems have them installed. Believe me I tried everything that everyone suggested including installing a new thermostat, lunkhead is correct about the danby they are set to do a auto defrost every so often and maintaining constant temperature is almost impossible. But I did the modifications and finally got it fixed. It is also adjustable so you can set it up for different flow rates, and you will need to do that when you install it. I have enjoyed six 1/2 kegs of beer and it has been the answer to my prayers. I love my beer.. I will try to attach pictures for your view. Good luck with your kegerator.
