Serving temperature kegerator

I know for a fact that this has been discussed before. (I even had this discussion with Nash... although maybe that was at the Hart and Thistle, now that I think about it), but the obvious searches, e.g., 'Serving temperature', don't bring up what I want, so I figured I'd create a dedicated thread (a perhaps redundant one).

Question: What is your house serving temperature and pressure for your beers?

I am an ale guy. I think that I used to do 38 f, 2.5 volumes, ca. 11.5 psi, and ca. 5 foot beer line, as standard, but my kegerator has been in storage for a couple of years, and I forget.

I am about the same as you. In the summer ( whenever it gets here ) I do turn up my keg fridge an extra notch because I am always out by the pool. In the winter I serve it at 40 F to 45F. I don't like to get up to 50F even though for some beers that is the proper temp. I have two different taps. I serve from my Perlick at around 8 psi. The one upstairs is from a ceramic tower and for some reason I have to go lower or I get lots of foam. Could be the line isn't cold enough though.
