[quote="alexlark"]Right, that's not 100% malt extract. Obviously it's better that pure dextrose but you'll have much better results with 100% DME.

So that was my original plan, but in the end I stuck with CO2 to keep the cost down. I have since changed the stout faucet for a normal one. Fridge is running at 6C and pressure about 6 psi. The pour is extremely slow. If i increase the pressures, about 20 psi flows nicely but pours just foam [emoji...

When pouring from a stout faucet, pushed with CO2 I get a slight head with a heavy pour, but it only lasts for second...
