OK - so I'm a nube, and done my first kit, a Brewer's Best IPA. I think everything went well, and we (wife and I) got great starting and final gravity readings.
Did the primary and then a secondary in a plastic carboy, then at the proper timing, bottled it all up - things all went according to plan.
Now I'm a month past bottling, and we open one or two, and they've got great "fizzy-ness" with a nice foam (even if I pour uber slowly). However, when we taste our beer, it seems a bit flat. So the carbonation seems to come out of solution VERY easily and isn't really there in the fluid to be enjoyed. And the beer tastes awesome - just not carbonated enough.
Will time solve this - or is there a trick to help - or do I just write this off to a nube first batch?
