its cold, been sitting on 12-13 PSI for a week. its not over carbed, just foamy pours.
DO you have a keezer or a kegerator with a tower. If it is the later then the beer line in the tower is not getting cool

Its a keezer with a party tap, so everything should be at same temp.

Tubing diameter is very important. What size is the liquid line inside diameter.

You need longer lines. I have heard of people using picnic taps with a foot of line and having good pours, that is definitely not the norm.
Also if you stay at 5psi your beer will be undercarbed soon.
Longer lines will keep a good carb and give a good pour.

It depends on the id of the tubing.

Psi really depends on the brew. I serve at 12 or a shade higher(ipa's mostly). There are calculators for co2 volumes, line I'd, however I find that a foot of line per psi works great (I use the std 3/16). So I keep the reg set to a little over 12 and have a little over 12 foot of line from keg to tap.
