    foam problem

    when the beer pours into the cup it sounds like a soda bubbling when i put it to my ear. when i put in the keg i was still trying to adjust temp so at one point the keg was down to 30 F with the pressure at 13 psi.

    is it bad to keep tapping and untapping a beer keg

    its funny you say that, i have already put a tip jar and and out of order sign lol. if it was somebody who appreciates beer i wouldent mind, but this guy just pounds natural ice all day, he doesent care what he drinks. maybe a tap lock is what im thinking of right now.
