Obviously a little late to the party here but I found that taking a ziploc bag full of ice and laying it on top of your tap for a few minutes stops the foaming and the temp loss all together. I had the same issue for a while, no more foamy beer for this guy!!!

Very nice! Thank you. My fiance and I are in the middle of assembling our kegerator. If you're ever in Bethlehem, PA maybe you can stop by for a pint. We owe you one for some of the tips you gave us. Cheers!

Nicely done. Just wondering what you think your total cost was.

After I added the 5th faucet, it neared $850 total.

I have heard of some guys with these "keezers" having trouble with a lot of foam because the beer at the tap and the last foot or so of the line being about 50 deg or so. They addressed the problem with a fan in the bottom to circulate air to the top of the freezer. Have you had this concern? Also, how critical is it to have regulators for each keg? If you only plan to serve ales, could you get away with a simple gas manifold with equal pressures for each keg? Thanks

There's going to be temperature stratification in any fridge/freezer that doesn't have air circulation. The foaming thing only happens on the first pour after a long wait but it's not too bad. I haven't tried a small fan yet, but I do have one and should give it a try.
The multi-pressure thing is personal preference. If I have an English Bitter and a Belgian Wit on tap at the same time, I appreciate running say 9psi and 15psi respectively. It is a luxury that you can get away without.

Where do you get your CO2 tank filled/refilled. I've heard of people using welding shops but don't you need food grade CO2?

Welding shops are fine. CO2 is all the same. I do have a beverage supply near me that I get my fills, but he told me they get from the same bulk supplier that welders would.
