I've just completed my second all-grain batch and while the beer is excellent, the head is a bit strange. One beer, a Sweet Stout, the other a Newcastle Brown. Both 5 gal batches.
The head on these appears and looks normal although it doesn't hang around long. The strange part is the way it spritzes. It's kinga like pouring a coke in a glass. The bubbles pop and throw a fine mist rather than just die down. They remain active throughout the drinking phase. More like a sparkling wine than a beer.
I carbonated as I always have with 5 oz of corn sugar boiled and added to the bottling bucket.
This appears to be associated with the all-grain brews. Never had this with the many extracts and partial extracts I've brewed.
Any idea what's causing this?
Thanks, Alan
