Hey guys and girls. I'm new here and brewed my first batch of beer. I'm looking for some help as I just bottled my first batch this past Saturday. Any and all help is greatly appreciated.
Sooo, I purchased a "Thomas coopers" wheat extract kit and a raspberry extract.
I fermented for a week to the day.
I add a cup of corn sugar to my "botteling" fermentor
I moved my brew from the fermented to the "botteling"(?) fermentor.
And then I bottle.
My brew is added to my botteling fermentor with care trying to prevent bubbles and air to the brew. I position my syphon to make a sort of vortex to help stir in the corn sugar.
I go to cap my bottles, they're all capped and I notice there is still some corn sugar sitting in the bottom of my five. Prob well less than 1/4 cup.
I am hoping to put a bottle in Friday and taste it... And enjoy it...
I really don't think thAT will happen though....
I'm expecting an under flavor, under carbonated beer.... Even after letting sit for two weeks.
Basically I'm asking... Is another week of fermenting in a bottle going to help?
Also a heads up... The reason I added straight corn surgar as primer and didn't add a little water and boil was because a local told me to add a cup of corn surgar to the "botteling" fermentor since I was botteling a mixture of 12oz. And 22oz.
Again, any and all help is greatly appreciated.
I'm just looking for a dumbies guide for making brew at this point, I don't know beer brewing terms and lingo... I just know(halfass) to boil the water, add the extract, add to bucket of cold water, and add yeast.... I know.... Sad but true.
I'm looking to get into hefis and dopple bock style beers. Any links you can provide me with as well as a description would be awesom.
