Keg Beer with No Taste

[KegNovice]

Well...I am glad I found you all. I have a Haier Keg as well and have had many of the same foam problems. We have even had the Haier people out to look at it. Anyway, that problem was pretty much resolved. I do believe that the temperature is a factor...Do ya'll recommend any specific thermostat or just one from like HD (for inside refrig's of course).
Here is my real question though...Our first keg - Michelob Ultra (now don't all sigh at once Decided that had no taste (tasted better in bottles). We now have Bud Lite, but once again no flavor...Is that a sign of overcarbonation? Don't know our temp, but the PSI is a mere 10. Not sure you would call the beer "flat" as it is bubbly, etc. It just doesn't seem to taste like beer.
We want to try a Shiner Light Keg next time, but wonder if we are "messing them up."
Thanks for any feedback!

Possibly the shelf life of the keg has expired. most domestic kegs will last around 60 days before the flavor diminishes. As to your settings, what is the liquid temperature and elevation of area you live. If you are at 38F and are approx. sea level - your Bud Light and Ultra should be at 14 PSIG with about five feet of 3/16" vinyl between the coupler and the faucet.

Finally, I am getting back to you with the appropriate info. As you can assume we are having temp issues with the Haier. Can you resend the info on how to over-ride?
We are about 50 ft above sea-level. Temp is a whopping 44 at the coldest setting. We do have the proper tubing according to your specs.
