Head Killer?

Could the vanilla beans or bourbon be to blame for the absence of head on my porter?

Bourbon certainly could since alcohol is detrimental to head. Lack of hops or proteins is another couple of causes.

So all joking aside, the bourbon could be the culprit?

Lots of bourbon beers have little or no head.

I’ve always found the exact opposite to be true.

I’ll tell ya’ what’s detrimental to head… marriage! :cry:

Very doubtful.

Based on my experience of many, many batches of bourbon vanilla porter, it’s petty unlikely.
