It usualy stays clear in the line for 5 - 10 minutes then when i want another beer it pours 1/2 a glass of head again? Ive tried different serving pressures but cant seem to fix it.

I've taken the keg off the gas again and will purge again.
Unfortunately, I'm out of other homebrew so unless I can get this balanced soon I'll have to resort to buying some beer to drink whilst I sort this out

If that's the case then it causes the gas to come out of the beer in the line as the solubility of gas in water (or beer) is lower the warmer it gets (we all know warm beer is generally flat beer). The only real solution to this other than just living with it (which is what I do) is to cool the lines somehow. Flooded fonts are what pubs use, but they're a bit exy.

Thanks rwh should be easily fixed.
Cheers
