OK, here's the recipe:
grain: 10# 2-row, 1# carapils, 1# crystal 60L
hops: 0.5 oz centennial FWH, 0.5 oz centennial @60, 1 oz cascade @ 30 min, 1 oz cascade 10 min, 1 oz cascade dry hop
yeast: S-05
Mashed at 152F, OG 1.048, FG 1.008. Everything went fine as far as I can tell.
***The 1 oz Cascade at 10 min was fresh first year wet hops from my backyard. ***
It has been on kegged and on gas for two weeks. Several days were at 30 psi. The current temp is roughly 40-45F. Serving pressure is 12 psi. But when I pour the beer it creates absolutely no head, even if I try to make it. The keg is definitely holding pressure and I can't find any leaks with soapy water.
So what gives? Did I mess something up while brewing? Could the fresh hops be screwing it up? The beer pours normally but with no head. The beer once in the glass looks to have carbonation bubbles. Very odd. It tastes fine to me, just absolutely zero head. Thoughts?
Thanks, Brian
