My fellow brewers...
Some time ago, I made a batch called "Deception Cream Stout." Recently, I made a batch of "Oatmeal Stout." Neither beer forms a "head" when poured. There IS carbonation in the beer, but no head. In both cases, I used the customary 5 ounces...by weight...of sugar to prime before bottling. Should I have used slightly more sugar? The "DCS" was bottled on 1 March 2012; the "OS" was bottled on 7 July 2012. It would seem that enough time has passed for carbonation. Am I missing something???
