Creamy Head On Stout

[mike_hillyer]

Cheers for that I'll check it out. I believe wheat malt is good for a foamy white head and I bet our Irish brothers and those who decend form their stock can obtain a white head on a black body, using all natural ingredients. Whether they will tell us is another matter

The whiteness of the head is part of the malting/genetic strain of the malt.

We don't need to ask the bloomin Irish about how to get a white head on a black body; we just need to ask Wacko Jacko! OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW! :lol:

Algate its coming back to me. The best is from the King Island kelp, its just extracted from the dried seaweed. They export it to Guinness and other places around the world. yes thats one of the Irish secrets.Its also used in ice cream and some other things that havent come back yet.
