Hi everyone!
Im using a force carbonated keg for the first time. It's a 5 litre Vevor mini keg, using C02 capsules for carbonation. I made a bohemian pilsner, though the beer turned out great with no oxygenation issues, every time I poured from the keg, I got A LOT of head and the beer was barely carbonated.
I force carbonated on 15psi for 16 days and served at 10psi. it only had a little fizz with roughly 85% of the pint glass being foam.
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
Recipe below for hose interested.

60 min mash
-Bohemian pilsner - 1kg
-Flaked maize - 200g
-Light crisp crystal - 14g
