    Can't fix this foam issue

    So I finished installing the 12' lines and my new double walled/ insulated tower this morning . I let it sit all day while I did yard work and i went to get my first beer and this is the result (see pic).... no waste. Also, the tower has zero sweat and it's 83 degrees here with 70% humidity...

    Can't fix this foam issue

    Call me crazy but I had an idea to stop or at least greatly reduce the sweating of the tower and also help with cold air loss. I bought a tube of EPDM pipe insulation 3/4" thick, 2 7/8" OD, and 2 1/8" ID. I then bought a piece of 3" dryer vent and cut it to 2 1/8" diameter to fit inside the...

    Wow, that's an awesome chart right there. I hope I can achieve the same results. I'm going to try my best to insulate this tower to reduce the puddles but as long as im pouring beer with no foam bursts I am happy. Thanks so much for all your help. I will post an update again after I install...

    Can't fix this foam issue

    ***UPDATE*** I ordered 12' of Bevlex 200 and they should be here this weekend. In the meantime, I did some experimenting. I took temperatures of the bottom of the freezer (32°), top of freezer (40°), and tower (53°) with no fans installed for a baseline. Then I turned on the fan to move the...

    I'm still on the fence about converting this thing to a collar type keezer. I like the look of the tower much better but if I need to use the tower cooler I'm not sure I can deal with the massive sweating due to it being in the humid garage. I also hate that I dont have a surface I can mount...

    That's a great idea for troubleshooting. I just added a picnic tap to my order with the longer beer line. Thanks for the idea.

    Can't fix this foam issue

    Thanks for the info. So you seem to think this is a temperature issue and not so much a balancing issue? Thats kind of what I was leaning towards. Maybe i need a better way to keep the lines cooler. It seems the top of the keezer is warmer than the bottom. I did make my own tower fan but it...

    So i thought about my response for a few minutes trying to figure out the best way to answer this without sounding stupid. I couldn't, so here is my answer.... I put the keg in the keezer, connect the gas line and turn the co2 to 12psi. Later, i drink said keg.

    This is exactly what is happening to me. It is only after sitting idle for a while. After that first 3 to 5 seconds of pouring everything is flawless.

    The 10 ft came from the calculator. I was using the 2.6 carbonation target, 38 degrees, and 12 psi setting.

    Can't fix this foam issue

    A little confused and want to make sire i understand all of this. How do I insulate the probe? Once insulated, just stick it to the side of one of the kegs? Also.. if I bought 10' of the bevlex and installed... What do you all recommend I set my temp and pressure to. I have Sam summer and...

    The probe is up against the back wall of the freezer about halfway down.

    Can't fix this foam issue

    Thanks, i feel like i am going in circles here. I keep spending money on possible solutions but none seem to work. I upgraded the faucets to perlicks, i added a tower cooler, i installed a cpu fan to move the air around.... nothing seems to help. I just went out and poured a full beer that...

    Can't fix this foam issue

    I built a keezer with a 2 faucet tower using a kit from beverage factory. It came with 5ft 3/16 ID beer lines, Kegco LH-542-2 Pro Series double gauge regulator, and standard faucets. From day one (4 yrs ago) i have been dealing with this foam issue. I go to pour a the first beer after being...

    Guide to set internal chest freezer thermostat to >32F; Eliminate external control

    I have this same thermostat and adjusted the wrong screw as well. I peeled off the sticker as hbrew71 said and found the correct one. Now I'm worried what I have done. Anyone know what the other screw is for?
