I use the simple can concentrates and have been very satisfied with the results. But (There is always a but) The head on lightweight beers Largers for example have minimum head and no legs (Wine Terminology). After much searching I have been advised to add 200 grms of Corn Syrup. It seems hard to get but I have found some powder.
So I will try. My next brew will be a German Bock which should have natural head. I will try on a Draught I brewed before to test. The results may take a while as I have a couple of brews in the system.
I cannot thank this forum enough for putting me on to using a secondary clearing fermenter. To that I had guests around and was able to serve up 4 varieties to their enjoyment. I am getting a good rep. I should imagine that moving up the ladder to extract brewing would improve my standing. I may one day but probably not go as far as some of you enfusiasts. I do not know anyone who goes to those lengths. I have tried beer from the beer suppliers who say they do the whole process and was disappointed as the beer was not as I like it. Crystal clear and no yeasty tastes
