I poured myself my first pint from the Pinter I used as a self-priming keg (remember I didn't ferment in it, I just added fermented beer + priming sugar). I was careful with pulling the handle and got a nice pour without a lot of foam and the beer itself is awesome, it was more or less a fat tire clone and it is very much like fat tire. We will see how it goes as I pour of them out of it, if it starts to be a problem I will use more priming sugar next time, it might take experimentation to find the right balance of enough to carb it nicely and get good pours all the way we will see. But so far so good.

How much priming sugar did you use? I think I'm going to be doing the same thing in a few days. I think I'm on day 9 or 10 of fermenting a batch in the LBK. It'll be extra strong because i used a can of mr beer but only added enough water to come up to 1.5 gallons.

I may let it ferment longer since it's so concentrated.

I threw 14 of the larger sized Dominos Dots in there, so that's something like 1.7oz of sugar. Pours today have come out nice so far so good. If it was a Belgian or a Wheat beer I'd want to use more, but this is good for this beer as long as it keeps coming out of the thing when it gets near the end.
