OK a few months ago bottling some rogenbier. Carbonating with yeast.
Used a larger than average corn sugar charge (1 1/8cups) Becasue I wanted nice foamy foamy rogenbier.
The issue is uneven carbonation.
I added the sugar charge after racking to the bottiling bucket. stirred well for about 5 min. then allowed the bier to stand about 15min before bottling.
I wasn't 100% scientific about keeping the air space exactly equal in each bottle but they weren't THAT far off - all about equal by eyeball.
Some carbonated nice n foamy. Others came out like english bitter.
Is it possible that the caps were leaking CO2? I can't think of why else there would be such disparity. the bottles were conditioned together in the same area.
Anybody had this problem?
