I recently tried my first keg and I pressurized the keg at around 20 psi for 24 hours, then turned it down to 5 psi and then let it sit for a couple of days. When I poured it out, though, it was all head and carbonation. I don't think I over-carbonated, but I can't figure out what the problem is. I'm getting tired of waiting for the head to settle before I begin drinking my homebrew (which is a hazelnut brown).
 
Did you purge the keg before lowering pressure? Pour down the side of glass.

After pressurising to 20 you have to turn pressure to 0 then let the pressure off of keg. Then bring up to pour pressure.

I pressureize at 30 for 2 days then purge pressure then set at pour pressure for 2 days
 
Yes, I made sure to purge some of the pressure when I turned it down and I always pour down the sides. It comes out full of carbonation.
