I've submitted many questions about problems with the carbonation of my "Lite Ale".
Originally, I posted my concern about 4 oz. of corn sugar instead of the 5 oz. I've been used to. I let the beer condition in the bottles for 3 weeks and upon opening them found near flat beer.
I moved the bottles to a warmer location and agitated to stir up the yeast and waited two more weeks.
Last weekend I chilled a 6 pack. 2 were near flat, 2 were great and the last 2 were over carbonated to the point that upon pouring into my glass it was totally foam!
When I added the corn sugar to the bottling bucket, I racked my 2ndry over the liquid and didn't stir.
Anybody have any idea?
