Riddle me this one, Batman.
I brewed Jamil's RIS (all grain). Hit the numbers properly, did about a couple of months in secondary and bottled with the correct amount of corn sugar for the style (don't have the recipe in front of me). Dosed it with CBC at bottling, too (maybe 3 or 4 grams).
Opened the first (and second one) at just over 2 weeks of bottle conditioning, and the head is massive. Fills half the glass massive.
I don't think I overprimed it. I was very careful with the calculations. And when I first open it, the pfft sound seems to be on the low end of pressure, and no gushers.
Plus, I bottled a saison on the same day, using the same technique, but more sugar, and the head hasn't fully formed on it (needs more time).
Is there something about this style that would lead to a huge head when poured?
I'm a little stumped on this one.
Thanks.
