What temperature and what Tap and what Line do you have or are you using?

 

[mickeyt69]

it is a 3/8 line the tap is a chrome one from norm keg has been chilled in fridge for 48 hrs and is in the garage i cant get it and the keg and the line in the fridge at the same time though so its just in the garage about 10 degrees at the moment

Probably go for 8-10 psi for ales at that temp, although I like mine on the under carbonated side around 2.5 to 5psi

Lager go up to 15-18 psi . . .but with 3/8th line you might have problems serving at that pressure . . . I use 3/16th line for my lagers and have no issues with foaming while serving.

I'll be kegging an ale next week and was going to use my 3/8 pipe to 3/16 pipe then back to 3/8 at the end should that be okay?? :
