Default Foam

I dont want to stop any discussions to focus on my problem. But that what Im basically doing. I just got a kegerator which isn't that old and all I'm getting is foam. Pure foam and I've filled up like 5 big buckets thinking it will run out but it doesn't. Im new with kegerators, what are some tricks on reducing foam.

Hey man, it's all about getting the correct pressure set for the type of beer you have, at the temperature you are dispensing it.. plus having the correct beer line length and ID. This has all been discussed, read the few posts below

I would start with keeping the beer temperature at 38 degrees and a PSI setting of 14. If you had previously moved the keg around before you tapped it you might just need to wait a day for the beer to settle down. Good luck.

I think foam is generally 75% beer.

Kegtrainer, always stop after the first bucket and then call for help. We might have saved the other four.[^]
