Personally I don't really care if my beer is super clear or a bit hazy. But since I don't just drink all of my beer myself but also serve friends and family, I would like to serve at least my pilsners fairly clear. To me it seems however, that when using protafloc, I loose head retention. This also makes sense since protafloc removes the protein, and as far as I've understood the protein is what will give you good head retention.
Is there any way around this? A bit less protafloc than the package suggests? Stay away from protafloc and extend the lagering period? Any suggestions?
