Hey there,
I know this has been talked over and over, but I think I need a more personal input.
I've been trying Yooper's Oatmeal Stout and Lil Sparky's Nut Brown recently. While the beers tastes great, I am not satisfied of their head retention. People who tried these recipes generally claims having a nice creamy head which lasts and lasts. Mine will have a head at first that will soon fade to a thin ring leaving no lacing. Strangely enough, my Palmer's Victory and Chaos IPA keeps its head well and does leave a nice lacing.
What could be my problem ? I know oats can be a head killer, but why does it turns well for others and not for me ? The 2 beers in cause have been fermented with Nottingham and the IPA with US-05. All beers have reached a fairly high fermentation temperatures (70-72F). Could this be the issue ?
