You guys are making me nervous, I gotta get more kegs.

I was 1 of 4 bridesmen for my sister's wedding. So it's not entirely fictitious!

A few troubleshooting things that come to mind. 1. How long are your beer lines? I believe that about 10 feet is optimal for less foaming (Mine are about 6 feet and I don't have foaming issues) 2. What psi are you serving at? About 5 psi should be sufficient, if you are higher then you're...

That sounds awesome! I would consider insulating the inside of the barrels. Warm lines = FOAM. Good luck.

Ah, I see now. If its anything like it is in the chest freezer than that hump is to give the compressor room. If you can move the compressor to one side or if there is extra room there, then it may not be that difficult. Best of luck, and I wish I could give you better advice:/

This was at 1.040 so not a big beer. Someone mentioned that it does this when fermented at a higher temp, this was at 70.

I've found that the LHBS has better prices on certain things (corney kegs for like 30 and no shipping). Oh and grain is cheaper when you don't have to factor in shipping. Some times they'll have sales on yeast about to expire so you can get it for like 4 bucks a vial. But their equipment is...
