Ok guys.. I guess its time I actually post something on here.. been snooping for about a year and learned a ton but still have a long way to go.
I have made over a dozen or so batches, mostly with decent success. I recently made Cheesefood's vanilla ale. Used the extract version of it, and this was my second time making it (first time turned out great). I kegged it about a month ago and it has been sitting at 12psi ever since. Problem is when I pour a glass it basically has no head after the first 15 seconds. Seems like it has carbed, but not enough to form head. I have tried to do my research.. glasses are washed in the dishwasher, but no added drying agents. I can take the same glass, rinse the vanilla beer out, give it a shake or two, poor in a store bought Octoberfest and it have ample head. Can anything think of something that I might have done wrong in the brewing that would cause this? Should I just crank up the CO2 for a few days? Other suggestions?
