Default Just tapped my 1st keg
well maybe about 5 beers ago. I'm a Coors Light guy and right now I have some foam. psi is at 12 right now. sounds like I need to be at 14. Also from reading the forum I need a longer beer line. Not to worried right now. I'll trouble shoot later.

Check your temp too! Should be around 38.

Did you let it sit for at least a few afters after placing it in the cooler before you tapped it? Depending on temp, length/diameter of line, etc. 12 could be too high. Play around and see what it likes.

Things are going good. My pressure might be too low because after the 2nd pour I have hardly and head but the beer still taste fine.

Enjoy these first beers, but do look into getting the system balanced. While the beer may taste fine now, the proper carbonation is needed over time for it to store well.
