Hi all
Looking for some reassurance! I bottled a Weiss beer 6 days ago at an estimated 3.8 vol of carbonation.
I know it's early days but was keen for a taste, I put two bottles in fridge yesterday, one was a random the other was the last bottle filled, the last bottle had probably 50mm of headspace..I poured the last bottle first, into a glass from the freezer, had heaps of carb, tasted pretty good but a little green I guess.
Second bottle poured into now room temp glass, very little carbonation, tasted same just no fizz..
I bulk primed, and stirred up before bottling, but my dex mix was pretty syrupy..thinking I should thin it out more next time?
Anyways I'm worried I have cocked the carb bit up? Or is it too early to call? Appreciate any thoughts on this.
Cheers
Dave
