In a series of entertaining, hugely informative and easily understandable video lessons, Charlie Bamforth will lead you through a discussion of why foam is important. Examine the underpinning physics and chemistry, how to measure foam, how the raw materials and process impact head retention and how to prevent over-foaming, otherwise known as gushing. You will learn how to systematically interpret and rectify poor foam performance.
