ABSTRACT: Dogma holds that the use of certain specialty
malts is to the advantage of beer foam stability. A diversity of such
materials have been investigated for their foam stabilizing capabilities
compared to reference pale malts. Substantial differences were observed
between the various materials, and it seems that the ability to enhance
foam is very different between malts. Indeed some appeared to have a
foam-destabilizing effect. The reasons why will be explained.
