    I did use iceace technique and I did not go straight to 14. I did very small increments. I also followed your temperature technique. The second pour is also foam but not nearly as bad. The temp is really cold. I'm going to get it to 38 degrees gradually. The foam does settle quickly though, but still a PIA.

    Bringing the temp up is a good idea, low 30's is too low, it will take a while. You've got a lot of thermal mass to warm up.

    Ok I'll turn it up slowly.

    I finally have the foam issue under control! I'm at 39 degrees Fahrenheit, changed to 10 feet of tubing, and 14psi. Only took 1 keg and a month of experimenting.
