I am seeing a big differnce in my batches depening on where i bottle or keg the beer. My beer always turn out carbonated but not always with head retention!
I have been brewing for just a short while since Dec 2012 (I have done about 18 batches in that time). I have jumped straight into all grain BIAB single vessel process as my norm . I have been choosing to do a small batch out of the grains from my 5gl batch since I am not sarging. Doing a Second Running give me a session beer that I can play with - different hops or yeasts.
I have found with my batches I bottle turn out to have very good head retention where the same batch the beer that is kegged does not reach the same level of head retention!
If bottling was not so labor intensive I would do more of it based on my results to date.
So I am curious if anyone else has seen similiar results or has any suggestions on how I can improve my retention?
Thank you in advance your suggestions.
