A couple of the beers I've brewed over the past few months have ended up with these really beautiful, persistent creamy heads -- almost as fine (fine, as in minuscule bubbles) as a nitrogen beer.
I realize the chemistry and physics of head composition is complex, but I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on how to replicate this?
The two beers were an amber ale and a pale German lager, so I can assume it's not related to yeast strain, fermentation temperatures/times, or grain bills. I use irish moss in the boil, fine with gelatin and burst carbonate in kegs.
I usually leave my beers under a constant 8-10 psi for serving, and the heads seem to get progressively 'finer' over time, perhaps it has something to do with CO2 becoming less soluble, etc?
