    Default frozen beer??

    We have a new kegerator and went through half or more in about two weeks. It seemed a bit foamy so i cleaned the lines. I hooked everything back up poured two galsses and all was ok. Two days later the beer would not pour. Just a burst of foam then a slight trickle. The light beer was dark in color and off taste. 9psi and maybe 32-33 degrees?

    Any suggestions???

    Don't worry. You are not alone. I did the same thing with my first keg as well. Thank god it was only a 1/6 barrel. We drank it anyway. I've now got a good thermometer!!
