I recently scored a kegorator and have started kegging (the first keg in on tap) and I used forced carbonation by getting the keg (and contents) cold and cranking the preasure to about 25-30 PSI, for a few hours. I then agitated the keg. The beer is cabonated, but there is zero head. What can I do next time so that there's a head on my beer?

Has to do with the protein content of your beer. More protein, more head retention.

It was my first all grain brew, so the probability of screwing that up is pretty high.

Charlie,

What did you use to clean the lines (if you didn't replace) and the faucet? I suspect that any residue from some soap product could be killing the head as well.

I cleaned the keg with PBW, and rinsed with SanStar. I replaced all of the lines, shank and faucet since the kegorator had been well used, but not well cleaned. There's a good chance that I didn't get everything rinsed well enough. I guess I need to be a bit more exact on the rinse.

I have noticed that as the beer is forced carbed, it will be carbed, but not have the best head, but after a few days at serving pressure the head gets better and has always been just right for my set-up. PBW followed by sanstar flush should be fine.

i find the same results as darth. the head gets better the longer the beer sits
at serving pressure.

+1 to Darth and Scary.
Quick carb works but I've noticed that letting a beer come up to serving pressure over a week gets better results.

I find the head gets better the longer we drink together...

The head is better when she starts to.....oh never mind....

I keep thinking this is about the military.
