I just opened three different beers ranging in time spent in the bottle from 23 days to 40 days at 68 degrees and they all seem to be lacking big time in head retention. The pour out of the bottle resulted in little to no head development. The three beers poured were: Blonde (40 days in bottle), Hefeweizen (23 days), and Tripel (26 days). The beers are all carbonated, however slightly undercarbed, but like I said, no head developed.
One common thread is that they were all bottled with oxygen absorbing caps. I have not had a problem with head retention before using 'normal' caps. Has anyone else noticed or seen documented that oxygen absorbing caps may kill your beer's head retention? Or will this be solved by simply storing the beer at room temperature for another couple weeks?
