I took my jockey box out for its maiden voyage last weekend. There was foam. I was able to fiddle with the gas pressure a limited amount and at best got things so 1/3 of each pour was liquid. I'm not going to mess with the coils themselves, but I suppose I could run longer liquid lines from the kegs to the box.
Currently I'm using generic rear-sealing faucets. I don't think a forward seal is needed for cleanliness, since a jockey box gets cleaned thoroughly after every use. But how do higher-end forward-sealing faucets compare to generic rear-sealing ones as far as foam production goes? Would switching in regular old Nukataps be enough of a fix? A forum search -- I did search! -- has some people talking about Nukataps in hushed, reverent tones.
But this seems like the sort of situation that flow-control faucets are well suited for. The forum search dug up mixed opinions about both the Perlick 650SS and the Nukatap FC; Intertap FC doesn't even seem to be available anymore. I'm hoping someone will say "Buy XXX product, which is perfectly matched to your situation, and will solve all of your problems." Any feedback at all would be helpful, though.
