What I've been doing until I can get around to getting a blower to cool my tower is to start the pour into a freezer mug until the beer runs clear..then I set this foamy freezer mug to the side and immediately fill a beer stein (that I just rinsed with water) and get the right amoutn of head...then when I finish the glass of beer I pur the beer from the freezer mug into the steiun...It's now even colder than the origina; and the foam has settled..Then I rinse out the beer glass and do it all again for the next glass...
The interesting thing is that when I pour the beer from the freezer mug into the glass, the bubbles are extremely tiny...where they were normal sized in the glass. that came straight from the tap.....I'm guessing that the tiny bubbles (no Don Ho jokes please...LOL) are due to the lowered temp of the beer from the freezer mug....
Anyways, that's my temp fix for the foam problem....and it keeps me from wasting any beer. by dumping foam...
