    Default fat tire kegerator

    I just recently made a kegerator and the beer of choice is Fat Tire from New Belgum Brewery. My problem is that the keg is brand new, barely any scratches (its sexy) and a brand new co2 tube (5#'s) set to about 15 #'s. i tired using 13 pounds and it came out too foamy. then i tried upping the pressure to about 15 pounds. same thing, foam. 135 dollars a keg, i dont want to waste very much of it trying to find the "perfect" pressure.

    It tastes kinda flat about 15+ minutes later after the pour. im wondering why that is as well.

    if anyone taps Fat Tire and knows the ideal pressure of co2 for a perfect pour every time, i would be grateful to know your regulator secret. please help??
