Hey Guys,
New owner of a Marvel Kegerator. 3rd owner.
It has a resting temp of approx 37*F. Got a cheap keg of PBR just to work out the quirks. After replacing the beer line and letting the keg set for several hours I was getting about 4" of foam on first pour and subsequent pours are just fine.
Built a tower cooler today initially had the fan by the cooling plate but then the tower was pouring @ 37.3 and the liquid temp in the kegerator was 40*F. I then moved the fan down by the keg and now the temps at the first pour and liquid temp are about 1*F off. Still getting some foam but the tubing I have now is 1" and too big to bring to the top of the tower. I don't want to use a hole saw just yet but I'm looking for suggestions for 1/2" flexible tubing to replace what I have now.
What about these?

Is 1/2" big enough to allow air movement with an 80mm fan connected to a 9v power supply?
If that doesn't work should I widen the hole underneath the tower?
If the faucet was dirty would all pours be foamy?
