Quote from: majorvices on December 05, 2015, 03:39:44 amOne of the possible culprits for head retention could possibly, maybe, perhaps be lipids in the mash. Maybe. Perhaps. If your filtering technique is inadequate it's possible you are pulling a lot of lipids over which can cause problems with head retention and premature staling post packaging. Using a grant may help reduce lipids from being stripped from the mash.That said, it may not. But it might. Maybe.So Keith, your positive about this?

I actually do think it can be a potential problem based on my experiences.
Another issue that's easier to check is whether there's residual detergent on your beer glass from a dishwasher machine. Try one glass from dishwasher compared to one that's been rinsed properly under the tap.

I'm 37% sure that I understand 71% of this.
