Can we get a drunk/sober translation on this?

My ASE certs won't let me sit quietly without mentioning that both ethylene and propylene glycols are used as antifreeze in automobiles. Propylene glycol is used in cough syrup and helps it stick to your throat. You'll understand why if you ever put your hands in engine coolant.

The alpha acids of hops also do their part to aid in head retention. Jewelry might also work, but sometimes it's just easier to find a new source of head.. retention.

dry hopping with whole cones and standard addition of 6 oz. of carapils.

but my SWMBO says jewelry works better...

Looks like we've been injesting/coming in contact with Proplyene Glycol on a daily basis for years, and we've never known, or stressed about it, so I don't think I'd stress anymore about Kreamy X than I am about propylene glycol...

Clean glassware helps head retention more than anything you add to the beer.
