My last two batches have both been flat! (almost)...first was a ginger beer using carbonation drops and the most recent a coopers real ale with bits added...bottled in 660ml glass longnecks using a big measure of castor sugar from one of those two-sided bottling sugar measuring devices.
Im using a bench capper so I would think the caps are sealing well...but the one 1.25 soft drink bottle I filled with the most recent brew had great carbonation and tasted so much better than the flat yuck stuff in the glass bottles...At first I though it might have just been a dud botle or two, but Ive opened at least a dozev now and they are all flat :huh: ...just the slightest pfft on opening.
Any ideas?
