OK, Ive read several posts on being patient (and other rules of carbonation), but I think my beer is under carbonated . I bottled 9 weeks ago, with 158g (5.5 oz) of Corn sugar in 23l (6 gal)- (as calculated by beersmith) in a 5% pale ale
bottled in 12oz bottles with caps. When I open a bottle, I get a very slight sshhht, beer pours with no head, and very low level of carbonation.
The beer was in my back room, with got a little cold weeks 2-3, but Ive since moved it to the kitchen, where its 69-74F for the past 6 weeks.
Ive been thinking about this for a few weeks do I try to add more sugar? Took a SG reading of the beer from the bottle tonight (after leaving on the bench for a couple of hours to warm and flatten) and reading was 1.006 (final gravity recorded as 1.007) so seems all the priming sugar is gone!?
Was thinking either opening the bottles and adding little more sugar (from solution Ill make up) or pouring all the bottles in to a keg and carbonating.
Oh, and subsequent batches have been fine
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.
