I just finished writing a long explanation of my problem and when I clicked submit post, it gave me 404 error, so I'm gonna condense.
First homebrew batch ever: 5 gal Nut Brown Ale extract kit
primary: one week
secondary: one week
bottled for 2 weeks
My problem: I bottled into some Grolsch swingtops, some 12oz capped bottles. Upon trying the brew after 2 weeks in bottles (i know, i know I'm impatient), I opened a Grolsch bottle and POW! well-carbonated. Then a regular capped bottle...barely a whisper of carbonation.
Could it be from the capping procedure? type of caps? age of caps and their seals? Maybe beer is still premature? There is definitely a good amount of yeast sediment on the bottom of the bottles.
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
