Was my first batch.
OG was around 1.045
FG 1.014
Bottling volume was 5.55GAL.
It's a Southern English Brown ale. According to the style it should "low" in terms of carbonation. So I calculated 2.3 Carbonation volume using BeerSmith. I think I used 4.2oz by weigh of Corn Sugar.
After 3.5 week when I open my bottle I have a nice "Pssshh". I get a nice head that form when I pour my beer. I see bubble coming from the bottom of my glass. It doesn't taste like green beer like it did after 14 days.
Question/problem is: I feel that the carbonation is "low". Lower than was I expected from 2.3 carbonation volume. I know it's a feeling that we cannot compare but do you feel that 2.3 is low?
Also does feeling of carbonation change when your FG is higher? Like 2.3 in a 1.005 FG would feel stronger than a beer with a FG of 1.015.
