- Are you dealing with a beer which loses its head very quickly? This video is for you!
It really depends on the beer, but head retention can be a pressing issue for many new homebrewers. Whereas some varieties of beer, such as lager, are often served with little to no head at all (especially in the UK) other beers such as a good old German wheat beer need that head to show off the best of its aroma and flavor.
So, in this video, I go into 7 reasons your home-made beer may not have the best head retention.

There are several causes of bad head retention in beer, but not all of them are actually to do with the beer itself. Often the products we use to clean our equipment or glass can be the cause as can the temperature that we serve the beer at. If you have avoided these common mistakes, then the problem may indeed lie with the actual ingredient you have used. Getting the right balance between proteins, alpha acids and CO2 your beer is essential to getting a better foamy head.

Who am I?
I’m Phil and I’m the founder of beercreation.com. This is my website dedicated to making and appreciating beer.
The Concept
BeerCreation.com is an attempt to share a passion of mine, a passion for excellent beer.
One morning I was still dozing when my fiancée (now the missus) said out of the blue “beer”. I was thinking maybe it’s a bit early for one but sure why not? She was carrying on a conversation we had had the night before when I said I was interested in starting a new website. Her point was that I should write about what I enjoy. So making stuff and beer fall very much into this category.
My Experience
I’m no expert, at least on brewing beer, but I do enjoy a good pint of beer, especially on a hot day or after a hard day at work. I’ve also been lucky enough to live in some of the best beer producing regions in the world. I was brought up in Kent, UK and learned to appreciate ales in my early twenties. I also spent three years in Belgium drinking some of the strongest and tastiest beers in the world. A great experience!
I’ve always wondered what it would take to make my own beer. I remember as a kid some friends of mine in the local Scout troop made a batch of homebrew. They ended up adding fizzy water to an ale mix because all we knew about was lager at the time. Not such a success.

Great information. I batch carbonate my beer before bottling. It’s been a hit or miss with me getting good carbonation. I will certainly try some of these steps and see how it goes. Thanks for the info.👍
No problem at all. Hope it works out for your next brew!
Good tips,the one thing I've found that gives the most consistent results is by using a small amount of torrefied wheat.
Cheers and subbed too,David.
That's a great tip @Cheshire Homebrew, I'll do some research into that. Thanks for sharing!
