Am I just crazy.....?
Or does the BD stuff give a better head than Cooper's MrB?
From the few straight up BD's I have done, I seem to end up up with better head.
I do bottle prime so it could be something on my end I guess.

Fill with mingled cream and amber,
I will drain that glass again.
Such hilarious visions clamber
Through the chambers of my brain.
Quaintest thoughts — queerest fancies,

I am drinking ale today.

To each their own...

Re: Am I just crazy.....?
I also noticed the BD seems to have a fuller, longer lasting head than Mr.Beer. Perhaps this explains the weird e-mail from Mrs. Beer?
Good judgment comes from experience, which comes from poor judgment.
Re: Am I just crazy.....?
I can't recall how the two BD batches I made fared. Wait, checked my notes. It says "good head". I always found MrB to have little or no head.
Making beer and stew for the Zombie Apocalypse.
Never mind, there it is.

Isn't the BD the same stuff as the MrBeer before Coopers bought them?

Perhaps they should change their name to "Brew Succubus" based on these findings?jpsherman wrote:Or does the BD stuff give a better head than Cooper's MrB?

Hey JP,
Is it just the head retention or is there a noticeable difference in the body as well? (Leave it alone RB )
We are fixing to help a guy brew his first beer, which will be a BD batch and I don't have any Carapils to steep.
I was going to post a thread and see if adding some CaraAmber would help with body/head retention.

Never used CaraAmber, but I have noticed good retention when I add Chocolate Malt.
