So you've spent the last few weeks carefully crafting your brew and now is the moment of truth. You pour your beer but no head! All is not lost.
Take a 10ml syringe and use it to suck up some of the beer in your pint glass then slowly squirt it back into the pint. This will cause a head to form on your beer. Careful though if you carbonate quite heavily as this will just cause a massive head
To cause the tight bubbles/creamy head - Once you've got that head, suck some of it up (but NOT the beer below )and squirt it back into the beer. Do it a few times and you should have a nice creamy head on your beer.
The sucking up of the head with the syringe and squirting it back in seems to release CO2 and create a head with smaller tightly packed bubbles - sort of like a sparkler on a hand pump
The first piccy is my beer poured from the bottle. It carbonated (batch primed) but kind of low at 5g/L. The second piccy is a minute or so later
