Bottling Question

Hi all

i am on my 3rd batch of lager and my last batch i bottled for the first time, i followed the instructions with this kit, ie i put the right amount of sugar when priming the bottles.

However most of the bottles when i opened them did not have any head when i poured them and appeared flat, i would say about 2 in 10 fizzed when i opened them and i got a good head on my pint.

Could it be anything to do with the tops i use? as i use the plastic re usable ones that click into the top of the bottles.

Or is there something else i am missing?

Thanks all

Chris

How long did you condition them for, and at what temp?

after i bottled them i put them in a coold palce for nearly 3 weeks

They need to be in a warm place (@72 F) for about 2 weeks, not a cool place. Move them and allow about 2 more weeks.

Good luck.
