Hey all,
Chronology of a recent batch -
Fat Tire Clone OG 1.052
1wk primary SG 1.013
3 wk secondary (missed a week with a trip)
Bottled (primed the batch with dextrose 3/4 cup to 5 gal beer)
3 wk conditioning
Ok... so I chilled a few and the beer was flat. (Bad deal with buddies over. ) Thought perhaps I had a run of incompetence in the highly technical bottling process so I grabbed a few others and checked the cap seal - no problem. I had a good sediment on all bottles.
So, I shook the bottles and left them for 4 days and tried one last night. Good carbonation and now it tastes like green beer. What gives? Any expert opinions?
Thanks in advance,
Heavy
