  In general, make sure your glass is spotlessly clean. You could then either leave it dry or make it a little wet, works sometimes...
  Keep your glass diagonal to make sure the liquid touches the glass almost parallel to the glass' inner side.
  Then when pouring, make sure you have a slow and fluent ray of beer that doesn't splash out of your bottle.</p>

ThreadText: # Decreasing foam in over-carbonated beer
  
  (Asked by: username_0 on 2014-04-23)
  
  I have some homebrew that is really over-carbonated (before i learned about [priming sugar calculators](https://www.google.com/search?q=priming%20sugar%20calculators)). Consequently, i have to pour it into two pint glasses to contain all the foam, and wait 5-10 minutes for the foam to settle out enough to actually drink it. The bottles are well-chilled first.
  
  Is there something i can do when pouring it to *reduce* the head? I know some amount of head is desirable, but this is over the top (literally).
  
  [Edit] I get this much foam despite pouring very slowly and carefully down the side of the glass.
