Foamy malt?

I just had a second brew that poured all foamy. First was an Okto, 100% Briess Munich malt. Tried changing lines, swapping it into a freshly rebuilt keg, Nuttin' doin. My other beers in the kgrtr with identical temp, CO2 pressure, line length & dia., etc. pour fine. Now I just put on an Alt, 100% Briess Munich malt with a handful of Carafa 1 dehusked, and its the same deal. Both were infusion mashed at 150 F. Previously brewed these with Weyermann Munich and no problems. Anyone else run into this?

Hey Wort: Yes, they had lots of head!

I have the same problem from time to time, one keg out of my 6 will pour foam, the rest pour well. I've never understood it either since all 6 kegs are at the same temp and pressure, have the same line lengths and faucets.

I have had this problem as well, i always just thought i added too much priming sugar to my keg, but i am beginning to wonder.
