Ah the missing piece tothe puzzle!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?
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.
