Lacing

One thing i like to see is the lacing dry on the side of the glass


Is that just me?

That means someone really cared about their mashing schedule/routine… I appreciate a frothy head that hangs around and Belgium lace right down to the bottom…
A brew with one bubble doesn’t excite me… not even the least bit…

I drink tap when ever possible… Not many have the qualities yours exhibits… Even alot of the “craft houses” don’t have the likes of your pictures!
You’d have a hard time getting me to leave…

One thing i learned and i guess from my father. Is beer should be drunk out of a glass. Presentation is important.

The ONLY thing I don’t like about the lacing is that my wife can tell how big of a drink I take! :joy:

Well tell her it was a half pint and you just swirled the glass to look at the lacing

Take smaller sips but lots of them :grin: Please don’t tell my wife about this quantity detection method or I will be stuck with red Solo cups.

I always look for lacing in my beers. Few “craft” breweries measure up when it comes to head retention and lacing in my experience but I certainly notice when they do! It is definitely another indicator of a brewer who has their shid together.

Our local guy claims pH doesn’t matter in the mash… :scream: He claims its only needed for yeast health… So he adjusts at the end of the boil… See if I can stop and have a pint and take a picture…

Ive noticed in CO the beers have a hard time holding the head and carbonation

Honestly it’s because of the chemicals that have to be used on glasses per govt. mandates. I get better lacing on my home glasses vs the brewery glasses from the SAME beer.

Speaking of lacing, interesting patterns sometimes can appear in the lacing(like a potato chip that looks like Elvis, etc) here a little speck of Duvel lacing looks like a ghost already pictured in

a ghost(Rheingeist) glass.
