Default Tower Cooling Issues
I have a Dayton 15cfm blower with a tube running up to the top of my tower. The temp in my kegerator is 38 degrees but my tower is at 55 degrees. Is the beer going to be foamy? How cold should the tower be? If it should be colder then how do I get it colder? Thanks for the help.

Sounds like you have an obstruction to flow. Run the tube from the blower to within an inch or so of the top of the tower and make sure there is plenty of room at the bottom of the tower to have return air. This will keep the entire beer line cool as well as the back of the faucet.

The top of the tower should pop off. See if air will flow up the tube with the top off.
