Hello all,
Tomorrow it will be 3 weeks since I bottled a Coopers dark ale. (Sweet beer thread).
Last night I tried one and it still had a very low carbonation level. I reckon it was still quite flat. It tastes really nice but thats it.
I forgot to get the OG of this brew but the FG was 1014.
I bulk primed with 180 g of white sugar. They are being stored in the shed out the back where the temp has still been around 15C on average.
Can this affect the carbonation level. Do I need to store my bottles at a higher temp? Do i need to leave it much longer. All the other brews I have bulk primed have turned out fine after around 3 weeks. How long should I wait before trying to add more sugar to the bottles? Is this even feasible at this stage?
Has anyone else come across this problem?
Thanks
