I brewed a Brewers Best LME Milk Stout kit. I kegged it and when I pour from keg tap I get plenty of head. I bottled some from the keg and when I pour a glass from the bottle there is no head whatsoever. Where did I go wrong? The bottled stuff is carbonated just no head.
No head in glass after bottling from keg

Just a picnic tap. I used 2 psi and let it run down the side of the bottle to reduce oxidation. Whenever I tried to use the bottling wand (no check valve on bottom) it would fill the bottle half full of foam. So I just went without the wand.

Hold the bottle about 8" above the glass, and pour straight to the bottom of the glass. I bet that will foam up nicely.

I tried that and got nothing. Its like pouring a glass of water. There is absolutely no foam.
Make yourself one of these - https://www.homebrewtalk.com/f35/we-no-need-no-stinking-beer-gun-24678/
It's cheap and it works.
