I am currently enjoying just my third homebrew but I am wondering why my head retention is lacking. My first brew was an extract, second a PM, and my third was AG. My first two had great head retention. I get about an inch of head but by the second or third drink it's gone, just alittle ring around the top. Here are my notes from brew day, hoping someone can see my error. I am planning to brew on Tuesday and don't want to this to happen again.
Recipe:
3LBS PALE MALT
8OZ LIGHT CRYSTAL MALT 40L
2LB MALTED WHEAT
8OZ TOASTED PALE MALT
1LB HONEY MALT
4 AND 2 AAUS MT. HOOD HOPS
1LB CLOVER HONEY
CALAFORNIA ALE YEAST WLP001
Notes:
Mashed for 60 mins with 2 1/2 gallons at 151-152 degrees
Sparged with 3 gallons at 165 degrees
Boiled and added 4 AAUs for 30 mins
Added 2 AAUs and honey for 30 mins
Cooled to 68 degrees
