I missed this line when I read your post the other day. This is probably most of your foaming problem. The diameter of your tubing is too big. You need to change to 3/16" tubing. With the smaller tubing, around 6' would be just about right. With the bigger tubing you would need closer to 15 to 20 feet of tubing to get enough resistance to drop your pressure enough to avoid foaming.
