  How long are you chilling them? When beer carbonates, most of the CO2 builds up in the
  headspace of the bottle. When you chill them for 24-48 hours, that CO2 is absorbed into the
  beer. If you aren't c...

  it was an austin home brew kit, I used exactly what it called for, 5oz I believe.

  My beer has been in bottles aging for over 7 weeks and when I open the bottle I hear plenty of
  hiss so the bottle is carbonated but goes flat in just a few minutes, can anyone help me with
  the "GENERA...

  That's just yeast. Like someone said earlier store the bottles upright. You'll see the entire
  bottom coated with this stuff in every bottle. This is why people don't pour the last half oz
  or so into t...

  Is it in every bottle? Could it be glass? Maybe you crunched down on the bottles a bit too much
  when capping or opening?yep it's in every single bottle.

  It does look like yeast sediment. I'd try to just gently shake them to try to resuspend the
  yeast, and keep them upright at at least 70 degrees for a couple more weeks.Will do! Hopefully
  it comes out ...

  Sounds to me like they are just not fully carbed up yet. If you stand a bottle up, does that
  gunk slowly slide back down to the bottom?no it's pretty much stuck to the surface, I have to
  give it a lit...

  Caramelization is a chemical reaction that causes darkening. Rock candy brings to my mind hard
  crystallized sugar. Your picture looks nothing like either. As gunner suggested, it looks like
  sedimentat...

  That is just sediment. I would suggest that you place all of the bottles upright.but the
  sediment is very hard and sticks to the side of the bottles. I'm not sure it's just sediment
  because there is a...
