I'm a pretty big freak about getting the uncarbonated beer off the trub, and usually get very very very clear beer. I usually do 1-2 weeks in primary, and 2 + weeks in secondary.
My problem is that nothing carbs up the way I want it too. I've had 1 beer that carb'd up nice, and that was a huge mistake (dumped dme staight into bottling bucket and had to stir and get out the clumps). Every time I go by the procedures, I get a crappy 1/2 inch or less head with a typical controlled pour.
I want that good inch or more head. I'm missing out!!!
Does it have anything to do with me being a freak about having clear beer. By racking to secondary and bottling bucket so well and I causing the yeast to be less in numbers when it comes to carbing up in the bottle. Am I taking yeast out of suspension?
