I have a danby kegerator and temp says 32 but a thermometer i put inside says 46 degrees!!! The beer is all foam and flat. We changed lines and checked the psi and co2.......all is fine. I havent heard any compressor going off like my kitchen fridge. Suggestions?!

mark pasieka has an inventory of refridgeration, kegerator and bar related parts (as well as everything else)... he has this bracket in his warehouse right now... at least one... he also has tanks of CO2, oxygen acetalyne anything you may need... [email protected]

Draught (or Draft) beer is almost always un-pasteurized and therefore is more fragile. It should be consumed after being "tapped", and is generally truer to the flavors of the ingredients as pasteurization exposes the beer to heat and changes the flavor profile. Always use brewery approved beer line if you want to have foam free fresh tasting beer. Serving it through a plastic tube from the hardware or discount store or the plain vinyl tubing in your beer tap system you will wind up with a foamy, off tasting beer. Real draught beer is not pasteurized. It must be kept refrigerated between 35F. and 44F. A beer will become wild, turn sour and cloudy in a day or two. Below 44F. a keg of draught beer should last 20-30 days before it loses it's fresh brewery taste and aroma. Craft beers (micro brews) tend to have a shorter shelf life and you should contact the brewery for their recommendations. Why does my beer foam up? The 3 most often causes of beer foaming up are: The temperature of the beer keg The balance of the draught beer system pressures The cleanliness of the draught beer system I would suggest that you clean or replace the beer transport tube...

SOURCE: Too much foam

I also have a Danby with the same problem. Apparently it is not the CO2 that is the problem. It is the fact that the temp of the beer in the lines near the faucet is too warm which causes a really frothy foam when poured out under pressure.

There is an extensive string at www.micromatic.com on how to fix the problem. In my opinion people took the fixes to the extreme but if you read the posts from beginning to end you can find two or three simple fixes that you can try that, from what I read, are effective, cheap and easy to complete.

You DO NOT want to go the route of turning down your CO2 pressure because you will be left with a keg of flat beer. Learn from my experience of about 12 gallons of flat Moosehead. I turned my pressure down to about 5PSI which took care of the foam but made the rest of the keg go flat. That solution took care of the head problem permanently, but not in a good way :)

Turn off the co2 for now. Turn it on when you need it, but start at a much lower pressure like 2-4 psi. Adjust pressure as needed.
