I have just taste tested my Brown "Draught" BrewTec can kit beer. The beer had a quieter then usual hiss when I opened the PET bottle. The beer was very flat tasted, and absolutely no head at all, even when poured fast.
At the bottom of the bottle there was white "syrup" which I assumed was the remaining of the 2x carbonation drops (brewcraft) that I used for the 750mL bottle. The beer was 1010 when bottled, and 1044 to start with.
I made Coopers Lager, and even after 5 days the brew was fully carbonated with a good head.
With this Brown Draft I used "Edmonds Active Yeast" from the super market. I know its not ideal but said is ok for homebrewing as well as baking... multipurpose yeast. Is this the problem? I think the yeast may have "died" and isnt fermenting in the bottle?
Thanks in advance for your reply! :cross:
