Is 30F temp to cold for a beer

[zomowiec]

I really like very cold beer. I did measure temp of my beer in glass and it's 29-31 is that to cold for a beer, could this create my foam problems

Too cold of beer doesnt create foam. Main foam causes are too warm of beer ( usually associated with the temp of the tower and or faucet ), low pressure ( over time generally not the first few drinks ), too much pressure, wrong coupler, and leaks. If this thread is similar to your other one i responded to, Becks doesnt use a D coupler. Becks Premium Light, Becks and Becks Dark all use an S coupler.

Most, if not all domestic beers are brewed to be stored and served at 36-38 degrees. That is when beer is at its most stable point. We Americans
like our beer ice cold, but at 38, you will actually get more taste from the beer.That being said, at 29-31 degrees you would have to decrease the CO2pressure by a 1/2 lb/ degree. The colder the beer,the more CO2 will be absorbed into the beer.
If you are 14 lbs at 38 deg., you would have to decrease the pressure to 10 lbs at 30degrees, or your beer will overcarbonate the further down the keg you go.CO2 has to purposes. Not only does it propel the beer from the keg, it also maintains the carbonation level of the beer. Too much CO2 can cause ''shaving cream'' at the bottom of the keg, too little CO2 will cause flat beer at the bottom of the keg. It is a very delicate balance. Tapman

Tapman, I asked this question yesterday but the above has raised a new question. I have a lager at 29 and have taken the advice to raise the psi from 9 to 11 because it is a lager. Is this too high for a beer at this temp. Also, could all of these adjustments spoil my lager?

TIA

9 -10 should be OK. At 11 lbs, you may end up a little overcarbonated at the bottom of the keg, but not spoiled.

Colder the beer, the better imho
Mine was at 30-32 f this winter since it was in my garage and I keep 20 pr so english beer mugs in the freezer. When I poured a beer it was just enough to push the beer over the edge that there was ice floating on the top. Tasty

I like my beer cold as well and I have to ask.

If beer that is stored at 30-32 degrees and comes out at 32-35 degrees, doesn't it eventually warm up to optimal temp of 38 when sitting at room temp for a couple of minutes?

Just asking, I apparenlty have lost my taste buds over the years anyways. Heck, I enjoy a corona whenever I am out and forced to drink bottles. If that isn't proof I don't know what is.

coronavegas
that is my point exactly! We may be wrong but I feel after a few minutes I still have ice cold beer that tastes great.

I wish my fridge would get down to 30F. Ive been fudging with it all day and installed 2 fans on the back to cool the compressor and coils off (besides the stock fan as well)
I cant get the liquid temp below 37-38
