Hi all,
I have a feeling I know what I did wrong here, but I want to confirm with some of the more experienced members here. The following is the process of my first brew and because I didn't find these forums until after, I have realized numerous mistakes I made.
Brew Date: 1/2 OG 1.059
Transfer from Primary: 1/7
Bottle: 1/17 FG 1.01
When I transferred to the secondary, I likely aerated the beer (didn't keep the siphon at the bottom of the bottling bucket).
I know from various threads that Porter's take a bit longer to condition, but as of today I have ZERO carbonation in any of the three bottles I have sampled. The beer is very "syrupy" and tastes poor. Is this normal two weeks into bottling for this style?
Is this another just a matter of time or is it ruined? I had a nut brown ale that lagged this timing by a couple days that is coming along nicely by using mostly the same process (with improvements from this site).
Any thoughts?
