Pouring Corny Keg Brew

Sometimes I can but only from my keg fridge. If I bring it to a party or something no. Now maybe I'm thinking inconsistent temperature?
Ah the missing piece tothe puzzle!
Temperature is a huge factor!
When I first started kegging and used picnic taps they were inside the fridge and stayed cold.
I didn't have a foaming issue as the lines, the beer, and the picnic tap were all cold.
If the lines and the tap are warm, you will definitely get foaming, and possibly a lot of it.
When beer is warm it has a reduced ability to hold Co2 in solution, given the opportunity (when you open the tap) it will come out of solution very rapidly causing the foaming issue.
For that very reason, when I did by taps for my fridge door I got 4" long shanks to keep the taps from getting warm.

That will explain my situation.
Picnic tap and lines are in the fridge.
CO2 bottle outside.
I carb as much as possible, then top up CO2 occassionally.
(I'm scared of the humidity in the fridge destroying my regulator)
 
I keep mine in the fridge while I drink from the keg and leave it in the garage when the keg is empty. The only destruction I have done is ruin one of the gauges when my dumb ass self let the regulator fall while trying to hook up the liquid line to the keg. There isn't a whole lot of room on top to do that inside the fridge.
 
No issues with condensation @Sandy Feet ?
I'm currently only running the fridge at daytime. It's a 12 volt, running on solar but with a tired battery.
I got a new battery and it's lithium, but didn't realise it needs a different charge controller, so I didn't buy
 
It does condensate on the regulator, but I haven't seen any ill effects other than the ones that stupidity has caused. It has been in and out of the fridge for a couple of years, and when out, in a very humid garage in the summer.
