I made this belgian pale ale brew last time that we like but the head retention was very poor. white, fizzy, and died in half a minute or so. I tried making it again and now its at krausen in the primary and i can see that im going to have the same problem again. it has been fermenting aggressively for a couple days but there is a pathetic looking foam on top and barely any is coming through the blow off tube. I was wondering if it was just the recipe. Here's my grain bill for a 5.5 gal batch:
pilsner 8#
aromatic .25#
caramunich .75#
biscuit .6#
flaked oats .6#
Also is the anything i can just dump into the carboy to improve the head?
