yes, cooling the beer will trap the co2 in and make it less 'foamy' when pouring.

IrishBeerSnob

Ok, so i'm gonna continue to condition in a warmish room,
then chill the bottles before consumption.

Ok, so i'd one last night from the fridge, much much better, still very well carbonated and foamy but that was probably due to my pouring rather than anything else.

Clearing up nicely compared to a week ago, and can imagine it will only improve with age.

They might just be a bit overcarbonated too.
Open the bottle and let it sit a while to waste out some Co2 before pouring.
Also make sure your glass is clean

IrishBeerSnob

Yeah it was nice, i'm gonna move em some where cooler now so i'm not continually looking at them and get cracking with my 2nd brew - IPA Kit by coopers!

Its true what they say about improving with age - had one after 1 month in the bottle
Much better - developing nicely, i probably over did the priming sugar as its very fizzy.
But for my first brew - very happy with the results.
Now brewing the Orange Hefe
