Okay, my beer has suffered from being too carbonated so based on previous threads here I used this site (http://hbd.org/cgi-bin/recipator/recipator/carbonation.html?9196539#tag) to try and calculate how much sugar to use. Well, apparently the site doesn't work b/c after 15 days the beer is flat as can be (temperature between 66 - 70 degrees). So, should I add carb tabs?
I made 5 gallon batch and used .6 cups of corn sugar.
On a somewhat related note, this is for the pumpkin ale which I spent way too much time on. Partial mash with fresh pumpkin, sparge was slow/stuck numerous times. I will also never use pumpkin again so I would like to enjoy it the one time I did. Although next year I might use sweet potatoes instead.
