This is my first time using this forum. How exciting. I have been brewing a great IPA for seven years, and serving it at our brewpub, mostly on a beer engine at very low carbonation rates. We recently started to sell our beer wholesale, and I'm having problems with carbonation and head retention in kegs at other bars. My questions:
Should I invest in a carbonation tester to ensure that the kegs going out have enough CO2, or is there another way test for proper carbonation.
Could the head retention in the IPA be related to hop oils rather than carbonation levels? It is rather aggressively hopped both in the kettle and the conditioning tank.
Thanks.
