I entered an Aussie Sparkling in a minicomp in January and it was marked down a bit as the head was collapsing. I'd used a few percent of Wheat as I always do in a Coopers knock off. I used some saved yeast in a second brew, but as an experiment I upped the Wheat malt to 50% of the base malt, then some crystal on top of that.
Can't complain about the head on this one, like marshmallows and hangs around for ages. However using 50% wheat it's come out really fresh and light tasting, Coopers red can be a bit chewy but this is really refreshing, as well has having the pear overtones in abundance. Malts were BB Ale, BB Wheat malt and 70g TF medium xtal, plus POR flowers of course. :icon_cheers:
