Default Too much head now...

OK, I got my check ball/retainer issue solved thanks to the forum here. Now that my beer is flowing I'm getting about 50/50 head beer. It appears what's happening is that the first shot out of the tap is mostly foam and then it turns to beer in a second or so but what this means is when drawing a pint, the glass is overflowing with foam by the time its half full of beer. Once everything settles, the beer drinks just fine.

-I've got a Danby kegerator set to 40 degrees (was set to 36 but I upped it a bit)

-C02 set to 10psi

-I'd say 3.5-4 feet of beer hose, but not positive. I can measure if this is very critical.

-Beer is torpedo of Fat Tire

-I'll sheepishly admit now that the keg was allowed to come to room temperature for about 3-4 days before I got the fridge setup

Thanks in advance.
