    too much foam, done everything i can think of

    Try going with 12' of 3/16" draft line and keep the beer around 38°. You should have better luck with that. You can look up tables to see temp vs CO2 volumes with respect to psi to fine tune it, but I noticed that the extra few degrees cooler and the longer line make all the difference.

    Keezer access issues. Need some creative ideas
