Wubba lubba dub dub!
Perfect mate - definitely won't see much of a head on this one, but there is obvious carbonation in the mouth, and when pouring.
I ended up using 80g white sugar in 500ml of boiled water (cos I wimped out on the very low carb level) + the 1L (?) starter of fresh yeast in a freshly cleaned + sanitised fermenter for bottling (it already had previously cleaned and had starsan sitting in it - but I felt this time worth the effort to double up on the cleanliness).
It's been bottle conditioning for almost a month now... about to move it out of it's cosy temp controlled 18deg environment and stick it under the house for 6+ months. With any luck I'll leave it alone (it really is a pain in the arse/beer-belly to go under the house for a beer... so it works).
The first bottle I tried a week or whatever ago was pretty darn good... can see it improving with time, esp if I leave it in the fridge for a few weeks to settle out. The glass I had was rather cloudy.
How long did your ferment go for? Mine was loooong... 6 or 8 weeks (?) hence the fresh yeast.
