HELP with FOAM

[jsias99]

Hi guys i just bought a kegerator recently, i am fairly new to this. But i have read alot and it seems i have everything correct i have the co2 pressure at 12 psi, i cant see and kinks in the beer line, the temp is 38 degrees but i keep getting nothing but foam pitcher after pitcher of bee. Any ideas?

What type of kegerator? How ling is your beer line? Are you sure your temp is 38? Check your thermometer and calibrate it to be certain it is accurate.

Hi the brand is a nostalgia kegerator which i got as a birthday present, i replaced the beer line since the one that came with it was just too short, i increased the length to a 5 ft. also the temperature is 38 degrees i have checked and rechecked this since i thought this was the root of the problem, also i have my psi set to 12 psi. i currently have a 1/2 barrel of Amber bock. the beer comes out kinda of fast but not that fast but my main problem is that iti is all head and i have to pour a pitcher and let it sit for a while. any ideas what may be wrong?

How are you measuring the beer temperature? Have you checked for pressure leaks? What is your elevation (location)? Is the seal on thetop of the keg damaged? Please post replies and we'll go from there.

The problem seems to be thaty our beer as too warm, report back with what Scott was asking and we can go from there. Also are you calibrating you thermometer? This is important as you could (and probably are) getting a false reading.
