Beer Pig,
The first bit of beer I pour also comes out quite frothy, it's just the beer thats in the line, however this settles down pretty much straight away after the first pour.
When I started kegging I had real problems and couldn't figure over what I was doing wrong.
Just a few questions.
- Are you sure the keg isn't over carbonated?
- Can you pour any beer without too much head?
- Does the headiness improve after the first beer?
- How did you carbonate? pressure, temperature of beer, etc....
- How long is the beer line from keg to tap?
- What pouring pressure have you tried?
There could be a million reasons why your having problems, just a quick check release all the pressure from the keg (just pull the valve open), then when you've released all the co2, open the regulator and set at 10KPa (I know this is very low) you should be able to pour a beer all be it slowly with out too much head; if you still have a heap of head then the keg is over carbonated.
