Hey all,
thanks for all of the Replies, I also noticed that my Tap is higher than my Keg, would this have anything to do with the initial froth?

Rob I don't think this would be the problem, having the beer tap above the keg will give you a slightly higer pressure drop as you have to push the beer up the extra height.

I disagree with Jason on this one.

Although Co2 is heavier than air, it is indeed lighter than beer and more of it will get into the lines the higher they are.

I say move your kegs as close to level with the taps as possible.

Yes, I know this from experience.
After moving mine level with the taps I experienced far less foaming and ended up having to ramp up the carbonation/serving pressure to compensate :beerbang:

PZ.

Wish i knew this before I drilled my fridge :p

We live and we learn

Cheers

Robbo
