Default Frozen

I had a problem with the first 6 ounce or so was foam and then the rest was perfect. I made a small adjustment with the temp and it went down too low and froze a little. I could hear slush sloshing around in the keg. I then got the temp back to 38. Since then all foam comes out. I took apart the lines cleaned them and let it sit for a week. Hooked it back up and still all foam. Did the beer freezing a little bit ruin the entire keg causing the rest to foam? Or do I have another problem not related to it freezing up a little.

Freezing beer creates a chill haze (protein haze) that makes the beer cloudy. If the keg has thawed, freezing probably does not cause your foaming issues now. The problem with beer is the colder it gets the more co2 it retains.

Can you buy a smaller keg and tap it to see if it's the keg? Not promoting over-purchasing, but it will give you an answer right away.

Thanks for the help. I just have been dealing with a loss of 6-10 ounces each pour because the line would bubble up after each pour and the bubbles would get bigger and bigger over the next few mins. I finnaly had it under control when I put the pressure down to 10 and the temp down to like 34 or 35. But then it froze and that ruined it.
