I have a two beers that don't have the head retention that I would like to see, so trying to rule out a few things.
Both of them have a good amount (anywhere between 5 and 15%) of white wheat and caramel, so I wouldn't think this would be the issue. I use a 100 gallon BK heated with electric elements, and as my wort comes to a boil, I get a huge amount of very thick foam, that is probably anywhere from 6-10 inches thick, so I turn the elements way down, then back up ,and maybe stir a little to get it to go down. This can go on for about 10 min or so before I feel comfortable to throw in my 60 min hop additions and proceed with the boil. Could this be killing a lot of the head retention in my final beer, or should I concentrate elsewhere?
Thanks
