So......................... about a month ago I posted that I was having terrible luck with head retention. I was advised to double check my cleaning process, wash glasses super clean and above all else stop the practice of rolling/shaking my keg to carb it.
Shortly afterwards I made an easy drinking beer with 1oz Warrior and 1oz Cascade. Just a standard, run of the mill grain bill with 2 row and a couple pounds of specialty. I carb'd it last week. I took someones advise from here and I set the keg to 30psi for 36 hours. Than I dropped it down to 12psi and left it for a week. Off the pour I've got okay head, about an inch. In a matter of 1 to 2 minutes it fizzes away to a thin head with a white foam ring at the glasses edge. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING WRONG!!!! I've never had this issue. This is four brews in a row.
Could it be my cleaning practices? I use Star-San and dip everything in one of those long wallpaper water holders. After each keg is done I put starsan in it and shake it up. I than run it through my lines.....
Please, can someone fix this annoying issue?
Thanks.
