Default foam

I have recently purchased an older Perlick 3 tap kegerator. I have replaced all the co2 and beer lines, shanks, taps, faucets. I now have sierra nevada pale ale, rolling rock and coors light on tap. The coors light is constantly foamy. I am only running 7 pounds of pressure through a distributor to all the kegs and each keg has 6 feet of 3/16. The beer temp is 36 degrees. What could be wrong? More pressure?

could be a bad keg on the coors light.... I mean besides the normal bad of coors..... I will say that at 7 lbs of presure your beer will be flat when you get to the last of it.

If your beer temperature is 36 F, apply 13 PSIG to each product except the Coors Light. Apply 15 PSIG unless there is a "Z" on the label. Then use the 13 PSIG.

What is your location?
