ABV 4%

primary 1 week

bottled with 5ml dextrose stored in boxes in garage

Just tried last night after being bottled for 3 weeks and no/ very little carbonation although tastes good with a larger tang - garage is cool - should I bring the 75 pints into the house to warm up and then see if the carbonation is better? Has the yeast just gone into hibernation and need warming? :hmm:

thanks for any advice

yes warm it up to room temp for 2 weeks I'm sure you'll find the bottles will carbonate.

I would bring them back into the warm for 2 weeks and then put them back in the colder garage to condition.

Thanks : didn't want to have to tip 75 pints of my Christmas stack down the drain

all the best

 

[PD]

oooh you dont tip flat beer down the drain !.... you sup it.......

I've accidentally under primed beer and find I prefer it to the over carbonated stuff you can buy. To make the beer more lively get a pocket beer engine from your local pharmacy.
