So ive brewed 4 beers now from kits (haven't gotten into grains and hops yet) and my next brew is gonna be an IPA and i just have a few questions that are comming up.
My last beer was a Hefeweizen and it kinda turned out under carbed and a little flavorless (it hasnt sit in the bottles that long so im sure things will be different as time goes on) and i think that i might have left it in the secondary fermentation too before i bottled it.
I read somewhere about the 1-2-3 rule of thumb
1 week in primary
2 weeks in secondary
3 weeks in bottles
Im worried that when i prime the beer before bottle after its sit for 3 weeks it wont have much yeast alive to carb it.
Im making a Coopers brewmaster selection IPA putting in 3 pounds of DME and a pound of Corn Sugar during the boil, and im the kinda guy that likes to do things exactly as the directions say (or the fine professionals on Internet Forums ) so what schedule do you think would be good for me? the 1-2-3 rule or should i stay with my 1 week prim. 1 week secondary 1 week bottles before drinking.
Thanks guys i really appreciate all the help this site offers
