    First time poster - long time lurker :stuck_out_tongue:
    I recently installed a 2 tap kegerator.
    the first tap is running fine and pouring nice Reef Donkey (Tampa Bay Brewery)
    the second tap is pouring really fast Guiness with little to no cascading - but a nice foam head.
    The Donkey is running on CO2 and i have a separate Nitro tank for the Guiness.
    The Guinness is set at 40psi and tastes good - the pour is fast due to the high psi.
    Is there a way to slow the pour by perhaps adjusting something at the tap?
    I read a few posts that maybe i should just increase the length of the beer line...?

    any advice would be greatly appreciated.
    thank you!

    Does the faucet spout have all three pieces intact?

    There should be a washer, creamer plate (with 5 holes) and a flow straightener.

    If all the parts are there, try reducing the pressure to 25psi and vent the excess pressure in the keg using the relief valve on the coupler. You can then increase pressure until you get the desired flow rate.

    Typical nitro faucets have a slightly slower flow rate than the industry standard of 2oz/second
