Ok here is the poop. I brewed my first beer which was a Blonde Lager from Muntons. Everything went well and I was confident that fermentation was finished due to the fact that gravity was stable and the foam at the top of the Carboy disappeared. I did have a few bubble's in the airlock (1 every 8 -10 minutes but I think that was to due with the fact I had a really good seal on my carboy and it carbonated a bit in there.
Anyway yesterday I bottled using the method I have seen described on here as the best. I Boiled about 3/4 of a cup of dextrose in 2 cups of water, cooled to room temperature and then placed at the bottom of my bottling bucket and then siphoned my beer under it to mix. I got 64 bottles out of my 23 Liters.
I checked the bottle I have been using to see what happens during carbonation (clear wine cooler bottle and I was surprised to see hints of carbonation about 1 day after bottling. I opened and got a bit of a hiss.
Is it normal to have some carbonation after such a short period. Ive been reading on here how it can take weeks or even months. Is this a sign my beer will be carbonated early or will I have two and half cases of artillery brews in my bedroom closet.
