May 10	accepted	What causes the lack of head formation/retention in my Belgian beers?
May 9	comment	What causes the lack of head formation/retention in my Belgian beers? Full boil. It's a pretty mellow boil, I'm getting about 15% evaporation per hour. I keep the water moving, but well below the raging geyser boil that I've seen some folks use. I don't skim off the break. I didn't do a protein rest, but these were mashed pretty low, 148ish. I'll stick some in the fridge for a month or two and see what happens.
May 9	comment	What causes the lack of head formation/retention in my Belgian beers? Yeah, I've played around with glass ware & different ways to wash. But the problem doesn't seem related to that, sadly. Even in glasses washed the same way, the Belgians won't get a head, while other of my home brews will.

Apr 13	comment	What is Fermcap-S and what does it do? In the text you posted he's saying "We sell a food grade, canola oil based antifoam." That's not silicone based.
Apr 13	comment	What is Fermcap-S and what does it do? So a guy that's selling a competitor to fermcap says don't use fermcap. This is not the most convincing argument. Still, I'll probably give Fermcap-AT a try if I can find some.
