Ok...Got my first batch all bottled up. I used the 1 liter flip tops. they have sat in a room temperature dark box for the past two week. this weekend, i popped one open. nice "pop" from the top, nice pour, had nice head and tasted good. Of course the whole bottle would not fit in the glass on one pour, so i put the bottle in the fridge, came back a little bit later to pour the rest into my glass,,,,, nodda!!!!... flat, no head, but still tasted good.
After the first pour and all looked good i had placed two bottles in fridge antisipationg a few drinks that night. upon opening the other bottles after being in the fridge a couple hours,,, got the same results as i did with the second pour of the first bottle. No head and had a "flat'" apprearance.
I know bottle carbination can vary from bottle to bottle, and placing a bottle in the fridge will "halt" the carb process.
so i guess i am asking. is this normal?
this was an extract kit, everything came in pre packaged packets and i did indeed have 5 gals (maybe a tad less, but not nore than) when i did the bottle bucket, priming evoluation.
thanks
