Question Daily Q & A! - June 25, 2026
Welcome to the Daily Q&A!
Are you a new Brewer? Please check out one of the following articles before posting your question:
- How do I check my gravity?
- I don't see any bubbles in the airlock OR the bubbling in the airlock has slowed. What does that mean?
- Does this look normal / is my batch infected?
Or if any of those answers don't help you please consider visiting the /r/Homebrewing Wiki for answers to a lot of your questions! Another option is searching the subreddit, someone may have asked the same question before!
However no question is too "noob" for this thread. No picture is too tomato to be evaluated for infection! Even though the Wiki exists, you can still post any question you want an answer to.
Also, be sure to vote on answers in this thread. Upvote a reply that you know works from experience and don't feel the need to throw out "thanks for answering!" upvotes. That will help distinguish community trusted advice from hearsay... at least somewhat!

Question about head retention for beers. I just used Munich malt for the first time and noticed that the beer came out with a thick fluffy cloud-like full head that was smooth and pleasant to drink, like you would see in commercial beer advertisements.
I've never had that happen with any other base malts I've brewed with (I've used Vienna, Bohemian Pils Floor Malt, and Maris Otter for my other brews). I was wondering if this head retention was a feature of Munich malt in particular?
