Hi,
I bottled a Best Bitter about a week ago. Yesterday tasted it and there is almost not carbonation.
Prior to bottling I cooled to 10C for a few days. According to Beersmith I would get 1.5vol CO2 with no bottling sugar. I figure since I didn't add any extra fermentable the carbonation is unlikely to increase from what I have now.
I am planning to cool the bottles to 10C, pop the caps, add either 1 carbonation drop into 750ml bottle or some dextrose syrup measured out with a syringe.
Any thoughts on this? I would like ~ 2.0 vol CO2.
Regards
James
