Hello guys.... First thread, so if its in the wrong place I'm really sorry.
Anyways....
I just got a kegerator! It's a commercially built Haier unit, with a single faucet on a tower. I have it placed out in my garage.
My problem is I get NOTHING but foam! When I first had the problem, it was with a 8gal keg of Bud Light (I know....) but I wanted to try and get it dialed in with some crap beer I didn't care about wasting some (a lot) of it.
When I first started, I did a lot of googling, which is how I found this forum, and thought I had it all set, but I'm super wrong.
My set up....
Haier kegerator
One faucet, 10 feet 3/16 line, beerman tower cooler (little fan on a hose)
I now have a five gallon keg of ShockTop in there. I want to home brew, but I'm not there yet.
My temp is set to make the beer about 40 degrees.
I used the v/v chart, and saw I needed to set my psi to 11, which I did. Problem is, if I open the faucet at that psi the beer shoots out of there like a frickin fire hose! So I dropped the pressure down, but I don't know what's wrong.
I tapped it and waited about two hours to try the first pour, that's when I dialed the pressure back.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks in advance for all your help.
