Hey all I brewed a Woodforde’s Nog a while back. Fantastic pint. Tried it again but this time the head is brown. The head doesn’t last long (that satisfying slip all the way down the glass) and it just isn’t as good in general. Primed it with normal sugar, as I did last time, had a bit of a...

As for instructions, I agree, they are generic I guess, they can't allow for situations such as temperature etc I recently bottled a Cantina...
