I am now enjoying my 2nd brew, a Munton's Light American Ale extract kit that my wife requested. It seems to have very high carbination and very clear. The beer is chilled to 45F or so.
However, when I pour it into a clean dry room temperature glass it foams up immediately and I end up with one inch of beer and a glass of foam. The head takes minutes to go down before I can pour some more in. This happens even when I pour slowly and gently down the side.
But, if I pour it into a wet glass that has just been rinsed, I get a good pour with mostly beer and an inch of head. I don't even have to be real gentle with it.
OK, all you gurus and chemists out there ...... comments? Any problem with using a wet glass?
