Super strong head retention/formation?

LazySumo · Feb 3, 2013

I want to brew a hefe that has a really strong head formation and retention. Half my grist will be wheat, which will do a lot for it. I'm doing a single step infusion at 156 which will help and I'm adding 1/2lb of Carafoam to the batch. Any other tips/tricks that DON'T include adding foaming agents to the batch? Thanks!

Check out the last thread at the bottom of the page. Wheats are kind of delicate in my mind.

I'm not sure what you can do with yeast/hops changes or adding cara-components before you notice the beer changing character too much.

Just add flaked barley. It's tasteless. Or better yet flaked wheat.

IMO, 156 for a hefe seems very high...hefe's, at least the ones I've had, are usually pretty dry.

with 50% wheat, you don't need to do a darn thing for head retention apart from wash your glasses.
