Hi guys
cracked open one of my ales last night after conditioned for 3 weeks out of the sun in a cool place.
Had no fizz!
I bulked prime for the 1st time and racked my beer for the first time as well.
I followed all the instructions on how this should be easy from http://oz.craftbrewer.org/Library/Methods/...mpleGuide.shtml
I had about 21l in the fermenter and added 126gm of dextrose which i mixed very well with hot water that was cooled prior to adding to the fermenter
Question 1. Can you fix a flat beer?
eg. can i carbonate the beer again and let it sit and condition for a further few weeks?
Question 2 . When racking, could oxygenisation of the wort effect the carbonisation of the beer? Though thought i was extra careful not to do this
eg. racked to 2ndary for 5 days, then bulk primed in other fermenter. Beer was moved between fermenter twice before bottling.
Question 3. Does anyone have their own special techniques that consistently work every single time?
Thanks
