Title: The Perfect Pour
Post by: Richard on February 14, 2011, 07:08:18 PM
I got one piece of "wisdom" to add to what no doubt everyone else already knows about how to pour a beer:

If the glass is wet (i.e. just rinsed), there are less nucleation sites for bubbles to form around, so you get less of a head-explosion. I always run cold water around the inside of a glass before a pour (if it's not still wet from the previous beer... a good excuse to never let your glass dry out eh :))

I've noticed that is especially useful when filling bottles from the tap. The coldness also reduces foaming.
