  I think I found my culprit... or at least the main one.... having a 3/8" tube get pinched into
  3/16 faucet... as i stated earlier there is no foam in the line as it pours, but it comes out
  foam, which...

  Are you saying you didn't use a barb and swivel nut for the beer line?As for the foam...are
  these commercial beers you're trying to dispense? If so, the run o' the mill BMC beers are
  typically carbed ...

  Have you tried depressurizing the keg a few times with that relief valve?yes, I have to do this
  every time I pour. If I do this every time though, won't this make the beer go flat over an
  extended per...

  I don't believe for probably 7-8x 1/6 barrel kegs i've had in this thing have I been able to
  get it to pour properly unless I have the pressure at about 1-2psi (where it just about
  trickles out). I've...

  If you want to brew a higher gravity beer you could:a) Find a recipe, like a barley wine,
  imperial stout, imperial IPA, etc. that produces a high starting gravity. There are a number of
  recipes in thi...

  Yes sugar will get you more ABV.But if you use too much sugar, it won't be quite right. It's
  easy to figure out how much malt extract to use to get your target ABV, so you should not need
  to add simpl...

  I'd just throw a couple more pounds of Dry Malt in the boil & forget about the sugar all
  together. That should get you around 6.5% ABV. Cheers!!!Edit: You might want to up the bitter
  hops just a bit t...

  You seem to be making an easy process rather difficult. If you want more gravity points, add
  more fermentable sugars to your boil. I would avoid raw sugars and wouldn't add any sugars
  during the ferme...

  is there any way to increase my starting gravity?? My last beer I did I wanted to get about
  7-8% alc. but the starting gravity was low, which makes things harder... It started at 1.04 the
  day I made i...
