I have been having some problems getting Nottingham ale yeast to carbonate well in the bottle. I use sugar and use measuring spoons and 750ml bottles. I started with 1tsp per bottle and got quite flat beer even after 6 weeks then 1.25tsp per bottle and got mild carbonation. My home brew shop guru says use a heaped tsp but I come from the days of kit and kilo where IT HAD TO BE an exact teaspoon of sugar. I brew ales at around 4% avb. I will try 1.5 tsp next time but there must be a better way than trying to guess my way through it. Any ideas?
