Just made my first beer and have been super thrilled with how it looks and tastes out of the keg: pours with a nice, pretty head.
Was going to share with a friend and this was my growler filling method:
Purged my keg's air, set my reg on 5 PSI, and poured a sample to make sure it looked good. Then I attached my growler filling attachment tube and proceeded to fill a 32 ozer.
There was a lot more foam than I expected, so I tried to "trickle in" the liquid to see if I could fill it more slowly. I ended up with like 1/3 foam when I was done, and then I sealed it with the foam overflowing.
My friend poured a beer from it a couple hours later, and the pour was really flat.
What did I do wrong here? I'm definitely a noob to filling growlers (and to all things homebrew, frankly).
