If they don't have head yet they simply have a ways still to go...some beers take longer than the 21 days @ 70 we repeat over and over on here....

It may take another week or so for it to be heady...

I brewed Jamil's mild it had virtually no head, so next time I think I'll add some oatmeal to the mash.

I found that even a 1/4 lb of carapils in a regular brew gives way too much head for my liking. Solved that problem though. Went to AG and perfect head in each pint!

So what temp and how long for 1/4 lb of carapils in an otherwise DME batch? 155F for 30min?

Sorry for the dumb question, but I'm still learning.

That's what I aimed for. i wasn't too concerned if I was off by a degree or two I wasn't worried.
