3/16" will add more restriction to the line, meaning you'll get less foam. It wont be perfect though. At 4 volumes, my kegerator will pour about 3/4 glass beer with 2 and a half mix sticks.

I could handle that. I went ahead and added 2 sticks (4 total) to see if it is a little better. Thanks for your info. |

Changed the 1/4" ID to 5' of 3/16 ID line with 4 mixer sticks. 95% foam at ~34F and 20 psi. Any ideas?

If you are having foaming problems with 3+ mixer sticks try removing one or two. When I tried them after the third it actually made it worse. Two seems to work great.

And you're pouring out the first half glass of foam? |

I would check your o-ring on the liquid dip tube... Depressurize and unscrew the male QD and ensure the o-ring is seating correctly!!

I put four sticks in a keg of carbonated water at 30 psi. Faucet is right on the keg with a quick disconnect adaptor, no hose at all for this keg. Nice easy slow pour.

The last time I read of someone with a similar, baffling foam problem, it turned out the Out dip tube had a hole in it...

I can't find these anywhere in Europe at anything like a reasonable price. Does anyone have any suggestions? I live in Sweden but have family in the UK so can buy there too.
Failing that, it's a long shot but is there someone in the US who can send me some (i'll pay of course)
