Discussion
Head Retention
2002-11-18 9:30am
The fats in the chocolate(real) will create a breakdown in head retention and give the beer an impression of a flat beer. I recommend that 1/2 to 1 pound of wheat extract be added to the recipe to compensate for the fats in the chocolate. I have found that this works very well in my brews that use real chocolate.
