Sorry if there is already a thread out there for this. My first batch seems to have been undercarbonated, when I opened the bottles a few of them foamed out the top of the bottle, but that only happened to a couple. Even on the bottles that appeared normal when I opened them, after the pour the head dissappeared quickly, and there is almost no carbonation. When I pour it, the head looks more like a soda head, than beer. There is no creaminess to it at all. The bottles sat anywhere from a couple weeks to a few months and I had the problem through the last one.
Now on my second batch I just opened up my first bottle, I opened it warm which may have some adverse effect, but I ran into the same issue. I'm trying to get it ready for the 4th, and the beer has only been bottled for about 8 days which I know is not long enough, so maybe I'm getting ahead of myself. There was head when I poured, dies within a few seconds, and thats it. Any suggestions?
