Anyone have any suggestions on how to insulate the line to keep it from freezing?

Maybe try a beer with a higher ABV%.

What type of fridge did you use? A smaller sanyo style? If you ran the taps out of the top, you may be touching cooling lines and are freezing that way. A lot of people run their taps through the door for this very reason.

Would need more info/pics.

A frozen mug???? That is sacrilegious!

BINGO! And if you leave your hand on the mug long enough it will turn blue like the mountains

"Only amateurs ask for frozen mugs!"

What andy said........and

I kept a thermometer in the fridge till I figured out the settings in my old kegerator. Haven't touched it in years now and the best temp for the old bitch is 28.....

I'd like to ask if anyone in the room believes I am an amateur beer drinker? I was a sailor for 20 yrs. I have traveled the world and drank beers in more than a dozen countries, including the Holy Grail... Germany.

Why is it considered amateur to ask for a frozen mug? (note: I have 3 frozen mugs in my freezer that I will use, on occasion)

What is so bad about a frozen mug?

As far as the line freezing issue, are you piping the beer near the condensor or coils? A line, even with the low alcohol content of Coors Lite, shouldn't be freezing until you get to the teens.

Well, most people that want the frozen mug, always wants an ice ice cold beer, below 40degrees, also, they (the majority, tend to like the "lesser flavored" beers.

I got a nice pewter mug that keeps the temperature of my beer nice and cold. Have had it for a long time, just started using it more.

Put them in the fridge and pour 2 of them into my mug... cold beer without the wait!

If I am going to drink ANY American beer (Yuengling Lager, Budweiser, Bud Lite) then I want it FREEZING COLD.

When I go out to eat and the bar/Restaurant offers frozen or chilled mugs....then I request a NEW COLD mug on every refill. I have found that Damons Grill has the coldest beer around of any chain. The opposite is for "COLDBEES(food is always served COLD)/APPLEBEES" around here, their beer is always warm & flat & stale lines that NEVER get cleaned/flushed and Texas Roadhouse is a close second to COLDBEES.

When my friend takes me to the ELKS Club and I drink American...I ask for new mugs but the tender doesn't dig it so I tip him well.

When I drink at breweries/brewpubs I DON'T ask for chilled mugs because craft/micros taste OK in a room temp. glass PLUS they don't have chilled mugs anyway.

The fridge is kept in a cold-pantry which is approx 40°. The fridge is turned all the way down and is approx 30°. The beer line is freezing at the Tap Head which is farther away from the freezer than the Faucet? I have increased the CO2 pressure hoping that more gas would help prevent freezing but that doesn't work. Insulating the line with pipe insulation doesn't work. I've also tried threading the line through larger hose hoping the air space between the two hoses would help, but that doesn't work either.

Normally I tap MGD, but have tapped /6th kegs of Oktoberfests and other Micros. A higher alcohol content in the beer may help like Andy mentioned, but my wife likes the simpler beers so there is a compromise. Just as I compromise Humi space for the flavored sticks she likes.

In regards to the Frozen Mug issue that has arose: I too would agree that I like the lighter style brews (pilsners) and most American main-stream beers ice cold. I do prefer the heavier brews, Ales, Oktoberfests, certain Micros, Porters, etc. a littler warmer. But I don't care for the cask-conditioned brews at the pubs (live beer at 45-50° is too warm for me). However a lot friends like to mix their drinks or have them neat in a frosted glass or shot glass. IMHO the frosted mug is a matter of preference. I will say half-frozen vodka in a martini or as a shot in frozen glass is dangerous.

Any advice would be appreciated. Purchasing a new fridge is out as I am moving across the country in a few months. Don't plan on moving the fridge just the conversion kit.

Has to be a point between frozen lines and warm beer. And if you need it ice cold, learn to drink it on the rocks.

FWIW, whenI bought my beermeister, they had a little notice not to let the keg touch the back wall of the fridge. Is yours doing that? Maybe the metal gets a lttle colder if it does. Never made sense to me and I've never really had a problem but who knows.
