Sup ya'll. First post on the forum here. Apologies for beating a regular topic to death but the search feature seems pretty janky -- 'foam' brings up 400+ results and if I try to search with a second keyword, the second keyword seems to be ignored and I get the same 400+ results. Maybe I'm just being lazy. I've been drinking a little.
Anyway, here's the video showing the problem:
The situation is dire for a 2nd tailgate in a row. We bought the jockey box so we could have cold beer on a bus trip and it worked fine the first time we used it. In case you can't tell from the video, foam is coming straight into the line from the keg.
Vitals:
Any ideas on the cause of the foam?

Vitals:
- we found best results at 12-13 psi
- teflon tape on both CO2 connections (tank-to-regulator and regulator output hose-to-tap)
- well fitting o-rings on all connections
- No leakage that we were able to see or hear
- Keg is from a well-known Texas regional brewer so its likely not the beer
- Problem did not work itself out -- we persevered until the keg was done.
- Keg traveled less than 3 miles from the brewery to the tailgate so we're certain it had minimum shaking during transportation
- Interestingly, the tap pours best when its only half-way open. When its all the way open it won't pour at all. Its quite possible that's because I'm a newb donkey and have been re-assembling tap incorrectly.
Any ideas on the cause of the foam?
