Landlord.
Or none.
In my new brew location, which happens to be a different country, none of my brews give good head. I didn't worry about this too much with kits, as I thought, "when I transition to AG, this problem will disappear". But it didn't. Thing is, not only am I AG'ing, I'm also paying quite a lot of attention to water treatment. At least the basics anyway, such as Alkalinity & calcium.
So I continued pondering. Perhaps it's the Oxi Clean, maybe I'm not rinsing well enough. Or maybe it's the grain bill. So I do have wheat on my next grain bill, and I do plan to rinse better.
But then while watching a you tube vid of a near boil over, I had a little eureka. I've never had anything like such a boil over, nowhere near. So I'm back thinking this is something more important, such as my water profile. So here my question... if I'm already treating my water, acid to reduce Alkalinity and calcium for yeast health, what am I missing that is causing the head to die?
