i think im just not meant to make a good batch of this beer haha. the first time i made it. i entered in the all grain recipe from northern brewer into beer smith. scaled down to a size i can use on my equipment. That one i messed up from bottling with too high of a FG. so my bad
attempted a second batch. its been in the bottle 5 weeks. just tried and has not carbed up very well and tasted watery and flat. i took a sip and dumped right out. to contrast i have a porter/stout i made that at 7.4% has been in the bottle exactly a month today and is coming along nicely. i generally follow the one tablespoon of priming sugar to a gallon method.
not sure if anyone has any input or has had similar issues. i know time heals all with some beers but i just cant seem to win with this one
