I poured my first brew last night, after it has bottle conditioned for just about 3 weeks, as per recipe suggested. The head was nice right after the pour. Not too thick, but it slowly diminished to nothing after about a minute. The taste is good and all, but I want to retain that head in my brews. Some say it has to do with the soap used when cleaning brew pots, fermenters, etc... I've already bought a safe cleaner at the brew shop for the next batch, but I didn't think that was my issue. I was very crazy about cleaning and sanitizing.
Even though it says no rinse sanitizer, should I still rinse?
Also, has anyone used Carapils or Carafoam to improve head retention while preparing wort? This is just info I've read on other forums and articles.
Thanks!!
