Hi guys,
I've done by first homebrew using the st peters ruby red ale kit. Bit of a learning curve because I think i messed up quite abit!(Bit too much water to start with)
I did the 7 day fermentation, then bottled it and waited 14 days and the results are a decent tasting ale but its got very little carbonation and goes flat instantly. There's abit of sediment in each bottle aswell.
When bottling I rinsed the bottles out with water and stuck them all in the oven to sanitise which probably isn't the correct method, I've seen now you can just rinse them with sanitiser. I put half a tea spoon of sugar in each of the 500ml bottles for priming.
I'm abit hesitant to do another batch with this having no carbonation, if I haven't explained anything in enough detail please ask.
Thanks
