Head retention is a very low priority when drinking a beer at home, but much higher when I’m at a bar. Perhaps push for 2.6 in kegged versions but 2.4 in the canned. |
Originally posted by Gazza That explains why I find brew dog beers to be flabby. To say 2 volumes is fizzy is so myopic that I can’t take it seriously. Beers are more singular and varied than to make a statement like that. Of course, it also depends on how you’re brought up re: beer.. |
We do our IPA at 2.55 and our DIPA/black IPA at 2.6. I think we could go even higher for DIPA, like 2.8 but that’s mostly because I like it when the style is closer to a tripel in mouthfeel; super attenuated and sparkling. |
I prefer less carbonation during the colder months..but in the high summer i love a high carbonation lowish alc IPA |
