Simple things than can ruin your experience with the BeerTender. Follow these, and you should be able to pour perfect two-finger-head beers on one pull.
First, they sell these mini kegs EVERYWHERE. Many times they are not refrigerated. Put it in your fridge overnight before you transfer it to the BeerTender, or buy it cold.
The keg is small, and keg-shaped. It tends to roll all over the place when you drive it home, knock around, etc. Even if you buy it cold, if its shook, you will have a FoamTender.
Safe bet: Always put that mini keg in the fridge overnight.
DON'T use the hardware that came with the keg to put it in the BeerTender. You need to use the supplied tube, and they can only be used once.
Keep your temp at the lowest setting (why not?), and wait for the keg to reach that temperature.
Rinse out a glass sunder cool water before you pour a beer.
IMPORTANT: This isn't a full sized keg. If you have poured from a full sized keg and tap system, your first instinct might be to ease into the pour by going slowly on the tap. DON'T! You need to quickly snap the tap back, not violently, but don't ease into it. Do the same to close it off, and you will notice a much better pour.
Your first (and maybe second) glasses will be foam, just as it is for any keg. If it goes much past that, you might have done something wrong.
This is actually all in the manual, but who reads those ;)
