General homebrew discussion, tips and help on kit and malt extract brewing, and talk about equipment. Queries on sourcing supplies and equipment should go in The Store.
If you have a flat or headless beer after you have poured it just add a pinch of that salvital stuff you can buy next to all the homebrew stuff at the supermarket.instantly adds a head and bubbles and does not affect flavour at all,not that i have noticed,maybe a slight lemon tang.
ANYWAY TRY IT and thank me later.
just a suggestion for anyone desperate in not throwing out that flat non head retaining batch,works fine for me and tastes great in mexican cerveza,try it and you might like it

Insert ribald guffaw followed by shaking of head here .."...................................."
But yes, it probably would add a head, I might take a tin of it and a spoon to my local, some of their beer glasses are hopeless. Thanks.
This is 100% guaranteed to work !!!!!! get one 5 cent piece, 1-2 tally-ho or zigzag tobacco papers, wrap your coin in the papers and drop in the beer.
This is a old remedy to bring life back to a flat beer. If this doesn't work for you , I will refund your 5 cents.
Yes that`s another good one. Any more?
You never need to give your mates flat beer again.
OK, so they never came back- all the more for you. A double win.
Of course for my chalk method to work you have to have some chalk laying around which probably means you're either a teacher, have young kids or you're a lawn bowler.
"Doc, what can I do about these terrible hangovers?"
'You can stop drinking beer'
"No, seriously Doc, what can I do?"
So we`re off to the pub with Sal Vital, a spoon, salt shaker, 5 cent pieces, cigarette papers and chalk to make sure we don`t get a flat beer. That should cover it.
Y'know, I never seem to have this "flat beer" problem... once a beer is bought and sitting in front of me, it really doesn't have long to live! I blame it on growing up with my dad's ginger beer... quaffing that highly carbonated drink really got the quaffing reflex tuned up. :p
