This one is related to foamy beer (surprise, surprise). I have an 8' 3/16 line, and my beer is about 38 degrees (F). I always seem to have foamy beer, but I am getting a tower fan which I hope will help. In the meantime, for some reason I seem to have less foam at about 8-10psi, instead of...

Hi folks, I have a question regarding my next project, beer tower cooling fan. I cant seem to find an answer in the archives. I will preface this by saying I am a pretty proficient DIY'er, but not well versed in electrical work. I have a small kegerator with a tower and I need a cooling fan...
