    The 162 step helps to create more glycoproteins. Proteins of a certain molecular weight that aid in head formation and retention. It’s also the optimum alpha rest temp which is nice.

    Fast cooling of yeast can cause thermal shock or stress. Yeast can release lipids and fatty acids when stressed like this that can damage head retention.

    I'll let you in on a secret. All of the recipes, hints, and advice I have posted in the last decade have been lies and misdirection so that I will have a competitive advantage when I go pro. Now 5.5% crystal malt in an Irish stout doesn't sound quite so crazy, does it?

    We have an apparent tie. However, I am invoking the pollster's right to cast a tie-breaking vote (first mentioned in the previous AP project), and my vote is for Wheat Malt.

    The next poll will be to select a Yeast Strain, before returning to the grain bill to determine the proportions of German Pilsner and Wheat Malts.
