Heading Liquid

[ipbr21054]

New to this brewing game & i have just been reading about Heading Liquid.
Its nice in the south to have a small amount of head on a pint that will last.
Will a nice head be standard once the pint is poured or do you need to add Heading Liquid ?

I am making this beer as per link below.
Please advise your thoughts on using this liquid.

Just thought i would ask for when the time comes if i am to add it or not.

If the kit is properly conditioned and given enough time to mature I wouldn't think any heading liquid type addition is required.

It is a long time since I made a kit beer but I don't remember have any problems getting a decent head.

That's how I started just over a year ago with a Brew Buddy as a Christmas present from the missus. I've now done kits, extract and 3 AGs. It's a slippery slope my friend. Enjoy :thumb:

I've used it in cider before. Adds a nice head.

True though, no point in it given adequate conditioning. If you want a beer ready super fast then use it, if not it's basically useless.
