Cool the tower and bump up the pressure to 13 - 14 psig.

Good, properly pouring draft beer is always cheap beer (compared to six pack).

Do I need to cool the Tower? Do I need to drink cheaper beer?

Yes you should cool the tower. The cheaper beer is your call. I keep a keg of the beast in my kegerator and just buy better beer by the six or twelve pack.

I have read through most of this Forums Threads on Foam etc.

I have calibrated my liquid themometer, have the temperature at 38 degees on the nose, have the C02 set for 12lbs. I can see smal C02 bubbles crawling up the beer line. I completely bled the Keg and re-charged. Cleaned the beer line, Tap and coupler yesterday.

When I draw a beer, I get a small amount of foam, then the beer pours fairly well. If I wait 10 mins, deja Vu. I get a spit, then beer. I admit the keg is just about empty and will replace with a new 1/2 this Friday. This is a 1/2 of Flying Fish XPA.

I dont mind wasting a bit of beer, but at $132.00 a 1/2, I would prefer to get it right.

Am I supposed to see tiny carbonation bubbles riding up the beer line? Do I need to cool the Tower? Do I need to drink cheaper beer?
