Hi guys, Iv'e been brewing for about 3 years now and my beers usually come out very good, flavor wise, but I never get a good head on the beer.
Iv'e tried everything Iv'e read online:
1. Adding some Carapils or Caramels.
2. Adding some proteins from wheat or oats.
3. Increasing carbonation level.
4. Avoiding soap at any cost.
So here is a recipe from my last brew, it was a session NEIPA:
Malt:
Marris Otter 7 lbs
Vienna 2 lbs
Wheat 2 lbs
Flaked Barley 10 oz
Munich 9 oz
Carapils 7 oz
Hops:
10g Kohatu, Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic at 10,5
25g Kohatu, Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic at 0 min steep for 15 min at 75c
Dry hop:
25g Kohatu, Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic early in fermentation (100g)
20g Kohatu, Amarillo, Citra, Mosaic in keg (80g)
O.G: 1.050 F.G: 1.012 ABV:5% IBU:46
As you can see I added proteins and Carapils.
I carbonated the beer by shaking the keg while on 30 psi for about 3 min, and it was quite carbonated. But for some reason, yet again, the head disappeared right away.
What am I doing wrong?
Any ideas?
Thanks for any comments guys!
