Quick update, I switched faucets and replaced my D coupler tap with a low profile version. Same issue. HOWEVER, as soon as this keg was done I hooked up a corny keg in its place (my first homebrew, Plinian Legacy, woo!) and it's pouring like a CHAMP. Smooth and consistent every time...

That Amazon one is on the way, hopefully that's the missing link here! Seems well reviewed, will report back. Thanks for the tip!

Didn't know they existed, thanks for the tip!

Ugh, * face palm * I'll give it a shot!

gnef, it's actually a fairly gentle bend at the back of the shank. Now that I think about it, though, a suspect spot is the where the line attaches to the D coupler. The top of that barb is about an inch from the bottom of the keezer lid, so, with the line attached, the beer makes an immediate...

I'm using these shanks: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00829HNWE/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20 They've got barb fittings and I've got line secured with hose clamps. No insult taken! Anything's fair game at this point. Yes the line is 3/16 ID. I've disassembled and cleaned the coupler...

Thanks for the suggestions PapaO. I've done the first bit, first pour is around 42, subsequent pours quickly even out to ~38. Not ideal but I believe my problems are much greater than tower cooling as I can fill pitcher after pitcher of cold foam. Ok, I'll find out about CO2 in the...

Picnic tap is in the mail, will report back

Thanks for the suggestions and the vid! Yeah, disassembling and thorough cleaning was the first thing I tried. No dice so far

Good plan, I like it! I'll give it a shot. One thing I just noticed, the the nipple at the top of the D coupler is within about 2 inches of the bottom of the lid of the keezer, so when the lid is closed, the line takes an immediate 90 degree bend. Guts tell me that's probably not good...

Good to know, thanks robfar

Yes, plenty of adjustment with the flow control, including starting with the flow completely off followed by gradual increase. Even at a slow dribble all I get is foam. Anything wrong with splicing in a new section of line with a nylon barb coupler? To change the line completely I have to...

Thanks! That pipe tower is actually stuffed with insulator, through which the copper/lines run, but you may still be right. If it was first couple pours and then smoothed out, I'd buy the tower temp argument but it's constant. I had no idea there were "creamy" faucets! This is the model...

Well I spent good money on good line thick walled line purchased at a brew supply so I should be all set there. More and more signs pointing to a leak at the coupler (great analogy btw). Here's what I'm working with: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002UZUSIM/?tag=skimlinks_replacement-20...

Here's what I'm dealing with
