Default Foamy Guinness
Just installed Guinness Draft. System is forced air into a wall mounted barrel head. Dual 1/4" shank. Approx. 8' of 1/4" vinyl beer line with approx. 2' of 3/16" choker line. Gas is 75/25 blend. Vertical rise of 4'. Cooler temp is 36. Pressure is set at 34.
Problem is the beer is to foamy. Checked connection and faucet. Seem fine. Did notice air bubbles in the beer line. Seems the line is not packing full of beer. Any suggestions would be great.

Everything checked out with the system. Untapped keg and noticed air and beer leaking out from the seal. Replaced with new keg and everything is running fine. Thanks for the help.
