I like a creamy head on my beer, and I usually use carapils to get that effect. I'd like to know if there's ever a case where carapils is redundant.
In my case I'm working a pale ale recipe with 7% crystal malt. Currently, I devote a third of that to carapils. I'd like to go a tad darker and use more crystal80 in place of the carapils. Since my mash will be at 154F, can i assume there will be enough dextrine to still have that creamy head I love so much?
