I have this same unit. I have foam problems the entire time. The foam is worse during the first pour, but the foam never goes away.
(I don't mean to hijack your thread -- but our problems seem related)
I'm using 1/2 BBL Miller Lite. Beer Temp is 38F. CO2 line pressure is 10PSI. I have tried lower pressure, and I get less foam, but still too much, and I'm afraid to flatten the beer so I cranked the CO2 back to 10PSI. I've tried higher pressure and I get really fast-flowing foam, almost like silly-string!
When I first open the tap (quickly and correctly, pouring at 45 degrees), I get a huge blast of foam, then what appears to be clear beer, but even that beer foams in the glass. (I've tried putting the blast of foam into one cup, leaving the tap open, swapping to a new glass when the flow is clear, but still, 3/4 glass of foam. It disappates quickly (30s-1min) and the beer is drinkable and quite good, but I can't serve friends this beer for fear of looking like an ***.)
Thanks!
