I am starting to see this a lot. Taps directly on the OUT with no tubing.. How does the balancing happen here so you are not getting a glass full of foam?

Some of these taps have adjusters on them but that will not create the back pressure you need will it?

Anyone have experience with this?
 
Is this what you're talking about? If so, I have one. The adapter had a pretty small opening so it provides some resistance. It is a bit temperamental though and I found I had to play around with the pressure, especially if I'd recently moved the keg (I mainly used it for a portable setup).

Turning the pressure down is the way to do it. Try 5lbs or lower. If you don't kick the keg then don't forget to put it back to your carbonation level so that it doesn't get flat.
