I'm sure this has been answered before but I'll ask again -

The first pour is nearly all foam - ALWAYS.  Second pour gets better - all the rest are perfect.  I keep the temp and press good.  Beer stays fresh for 1 to 2 months.  Parts, lines and spigot are cleaned when keg is replaced.  I do clean the spigot about every 2 weeks.

Suggestions appreciated,

Thanks,

Steve S

I have exactly the same issue. Danby, Budweiser 1/2 barrel, 38 degrees, 9 psi, cleaned before every keg. First pour after it sits is  1/2 or more foam and rest is fine. I can see that all the bubbles then go up the line to the faucet and waits for the next pour, which is unavoidable but is there a way I can minimize that?

Check to make sure there are no hot spots where the line is hitting warm air.

12psi is ideal.

Coldest part of every system should be the shank.
