Hi all,
I'm just continuing my comedy of errors with a particular batch of brew. Is a Wals pale ale from the outcry brewer. I suspect I didn't let it ferment long enough because it has a sweetish taste and it doesn't seem to get me drunk. OG was only 1.03 for some reason and FG was 1.01 after 8 days at a constant 21.5C. I thought I might have a dicky hydrometer but it reads 1 in water so go figure. Anyway....
I force carbed it and let it sit for a week and it pours with a standard amount of head and the right level f carbonation (to my taste) but the head just disappears. I'm wondering if its got to do with it possibly not being fully fermented or something.
Is there any ay I can 'fix' it? I'm new at all this and aware I probably need to provide more info. If anyone has a suggestion please let me know. Cheers
