HI Guys,
This last extract brew I decided to cold crash at about 4-5 degrees (as low as my fridge will go) for a few days before bottling. Took it straight outta the fridge to bottle and then back to the ferm fridge for 2 weeks @ 18 degrees. After 2 weeks I have opened up a few and there is almost no signs of carbonation, a very flat beer. I have also noticed that there is much lest yeast sediment at the bottom of the empties. Any ideas of what could cause this? This hasn't happened to me before and only main difference i have made in the process is cold crashing this time.
I am bottling in 750ml PET with Carb drops
Beer Fermented with US05 (1 pack rehydrated) for 14 days at 18degrees
Standard Pale Ale extract 12l Boil with an OG of 1056 and a FG of 1012
Thanks for the help,
JW
