Our best brew so far has been from an american amber ale kit from the LHBS. It has great body and flavor. It also has a good stiff head that lasts. Is it the 60L crystal malt that gives it such good head retention? If so, can I use malto dextrin and get the same results?
Here's the recipe:
4 lbs. of English light syrup
4 lbs of Canadian light syrup
0.5 lb. 60L Crystal Malt
0.13 lbs. Roasted Barley
0.5 oz Centennial pellet hops (bittering)
0.25 oz Centennial pellet hops (flavoring)
0.25 oz. Centennial pellet hops (aroma)
