I see factory 1.5 gallon keg “party bombs” being sold so I figured they must have figure out a way to minimize foam for a keg mounted faucet? Thanks I’m advance

If he were to do that with a standard flow control faucet (his current setup as per the attached picture) without the nitro attachment he'd have to repaint the room or at least have to take a shower and change into fresh clothes every time he tries to pour himself one. He's got foaming issues now, think of what would happen with 4x the pressure...If by 'beer gas' you mean the nitro/co2 mix, it won't make the beer go flat. It just needs to be provided at a higher pressure level to give the amount of CO2 needed to maintain carbonation levels.
I never assume... I'd also only use nitro mix where it makes sense, or is of benefit to the recipe. I do plan to try it out in one of my IPA's at some point. Just not sure when. Since I'll probably need to change my regulator to a dual body and install another gas bulkhead in the keezer collar to support it. Plus [maybe] add another gas manifold to the setup. Running out of space on the collar to do that.If he were to do that with a standard flow control faucet (his current setup as per the attached picture) without the nitro attachment he'd have to repaint the room or at least have to take a shower and change into fresh clothes every time he tries to pour himself one.

We can safely assume he was going to push the beer at the same pressure but with beer gas, which would make the CO2's partial pressure drop with time and CO2 would be released from the beer making it lose carbonation as the keg empties.
The OP wasn't going to and that's why I had to explain the consequences of improperly using beer gas to him. Don't know where you got the impression we were discussing your setup...I'd also only use nitro mix where it makes sense...
Kegland makes flow control ball lock disconnects. The first generation introduced a significant amount of restriction, even fully open. There's a 2nd gen version which is claimed to resolve that issue, but as of a few months ago, they hadn't reached the USA yet. William's Brewing carries them.somewhere In the bowels of this forum is a post talking about flow controls on your qds.
Here is the travel version for sharing with beer buddies...View attachment 706810
I bought 2 of these about 2 months ago. I had the problem that even fully open they would only trickle. Fixed by opening them up and grinding off the part that prevented you from opening them up further. Now they are great! Just don't open them up too far or you'll be doing a lot of cleanup.Kegland makes flow control ball lock disconnects.
