Hello, I have carbonated beer in keg for about a week, today I tried to spin it with a picnic tap, with 5 psi pressure and only foam came out! The beer was completely degassed. Where am I wrong?

We will need some more information. How long is your beer lines? What is the ID of your beer lines? What is the temperature of the beer cooler? 5 psi is not enough pressure for dispensing most beers so if it is foaming even at that extremely low psi setting. I am betting your lines are too short or your drinking glass too warm.

Carbed with spunding valve, at 26 psi at 19°C
Inside diameter of 1cm
How can I solve? Maybe an higher temperature?

holy jesus....windows calc tells me 1cm is damn near 1/2".....11" long of 1/2" ID tubing is not going to work....
i don't know much about spunding....but 26 psi, 1/2" ID tubing, and only 11" long strikes me as a problem.......
you need something more like 4mm ID...and about say what 8 feet of it.....colder is better....

somebody else will have to explain to both of us why they even sell those....
that's what my first keg kit came with also, and until i read forums like these i always poured foam too, had to drop pressure like a noob....then i found out i needed to have a LOT of extra length....and keep it cold too....
edit: if by spin your keg you mean party, look into things called "jockey boxs"
