So I have two questions, but one I am pretty much already sure of the answer I will get. I brewed this blonde ale (slightly altered Centennial Blonde) on Nov. 18 and its been in the bottles since Dec. 15.
Here's the recipe for 5.5gal:
5# extra light DME
.75# carapils
.25# crystal 10
.25oz centennial @ 45
.5oz centennial @ 20
.5oz cascade @ 10
.5oz cascade @ 5
Nottingham
Bottled with 2/3 cup corn sugar. I know its less than average but I enjoyed an english bitter I made with this level of carb.
1. There is pretty much no head. By that I mean some slight bubbles clinging to the side of the glass, but even after a very vigorous pour, nothing more. What could have caused this, and is it related to #2?
2. My bottles still are not carbonated. They are coming along from when I first checked them last week. I turned them over once and put them back in my closet to try and hurry it along, so we'll see what it's like in another 2 weeks. I've read a bunch of threads and know the answer is, "give it time", so I'm not that worried. Mainly I want to know why there is no head.
