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.

C'mon, that stuff is only for making cordial into soft drink

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.

A pinch of salt. A mate of mine uses this method when at a pub and the jug has been on the table for a while.

Yep yep, it works...and you can't even taste the salt

Well there ya go! I'll have to give it a go. With cheap beer.

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.

I know of one but it can be a bit chilly

Right- let`s have it.

There is no way I want money anywhere near anything I eat or drink. Money is one of the least sanitary things you will handle on a daily basis.

Chalk works as well as anything.

Just drop a small piece of chalk in the bottom of your glass and you'll have guaranteed bubbles, with no effect on taste.

Sulphuric acid works to, really gets the bubbles going. Don`t drink it though.

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.

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.

You fergot a bag of Coopers carb drops.
Drop one in ya beer and see what happens

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

A flat drop is good for the boat race.
