I taste tested my IPA tonight for the first time. DELICIOUS!!!
Citrusy, bitter, medium bodied goodness! Seriously, I can't believe I made a beer this good. BUT, there is one worry. The beer was under carbonated and created no head. Here's an overview:
- Bottled 3 weeks ago and has been sitting at 71.5 degrees.
- Used enough priming solution to get me to about 2.2 CO2 according to Tasty Brew calculator.
- I put the test bottle in the fridge 3-4 hours before testing it.
Like I said, the taste is great. There is some carbonation, just very little compared to what I was expecting. Any words of encouragement or am I kinda out of luck here?
Thanks!
