P FlacoAlto 2103:6	Originally posted by brewskie I have always only kegged my IPA but this time I would like to bottle some. How much dextrose would I need per gallon of beer for a nice lasting head. cheers Did you dry hop? That is almost the more important question when asking about a long lasting head. If you want to carbonate on the high side for an IPA then about 3/4 cup of dextrose per 5 gallons will get you there.	6/16/2008 10:47:11 PM Post a reply Private message
