I brewed several beers (Cheese's Vanilla Caramel Cream Ale, Fat Tire clone, and a stout) and left them in the primary for about 2 months, after which they were racked into clearing tanks for 3 more months. I have now bottled the beers and sampled them. Each of the three separate beer batches I brewed is low on carbonation. I added the correct amount of priming sugar and the beers taste as I expected them to taste, just a little flat and lacking a head. This is after carbonating at 1.5 weeks at room temperature and transfering to the refrigerator for at least another week.
Steps I've taken: let beers sit in room temp for a little. I have also placed a thermometer in my beer fridge to see what the temperature is. I originally thought it might have been too cold. I've never had any problems previously with these settings, however.
So let me know if you have any advice. I could really use it and don't want this 15 gallons of beer to be a huge disappointment. Thanks a lot.
