Hi Guys,
Im on my second brew now, My first brew failed... big time... was flat and in the end it tasted bad....
Anyway, I tried again,
I Fermented the lager, with a fish tank heater in to stop it going to cold. Everything looked good when it came to bottling... I had a good hydromeater reading etc
I have had my family save me soda bottles, I cleaned them all, added 5ml of sugar and it looked really fizzy... i had to put the lids on fast to ensure it didnt come over the top....
Its been in the bottles for about 3 weeks now, i was mega excited with trying the new brew... so last night i opened one of the bottles..... it only just had enough gas to make a fizz as i opened the bottle....
I poured into a jug and it was flat... no head....
I poured into a glass with a "widget" in the bottom... and there was a few bubbles rising, but nothing really happening... The taste wasnt bad... it was just flat!...
What am i doing wrong?
