Sample time! Not quiet 2 weeks since bottling. This is an amazing beer. Full of flavor, chocolate /coffee. It’s still under carbonated which is to be expected at this early stage. Side question - when priming with dextrose is it the same quantity as cane sugar?

Mine was bottled yesterday and I got 39 big bots. It did have a slight vinegar taste so hopefully I haven’t got a bug in there. I’m going to leave it to carb up then try it in 2 weeks. As soon as I bottled I managed to get 31 liters of pale ale down. I was rushing and didn’t even add hops! I’m...

Successful transfer ...... now the wait begins

Yes. That's a really good idea. Thanks

Thanks for the wise words. I was considering taking off the bottle and giving it a bit of a swirl to encourage it . Would that be recommended?

No. I've lost my hydro
