So I just tapped my first keg of homebrew. I also purchased a keg of Sam Adams. I hooked them both up to the kegerator. The Sam Adams was already cold since I purchased it from the store. My homebrew I added 5oz to 4 gallons of beer last week. I let it sit for about 10 days. I purged out the extra gas then hooked it up. It was at room temperature. I realize it will probably take a few days for the CO2 to reach equilibrium but i figured it'd be in the ballpark. So:
1) The Sam Adams pours out with tons of head. Prob more than 2.5 inches. Is this because of the temperature of the keg and length of beer line?
2) My homebrew poured out great. About an inch of head granted its still warm. It tastes flat though. How can that be if I added all that sugar over a week ago? I figure now I just have to wait around a week or so until it reaches equilibrium.
Thanks for the help.
