Okay, maybe I am being paranoid, but I really loved brewing. I'm already hooked and looking forward to doing this long into the future. However, I'm worried that my first batch isn't carbonating.
It's been less than a week (I bottled on Saturday), but from what I can tell, it doesn't look like its carbonating. I'm keeping it between 73-75 degrees. Is there anything I can do? Is there anyway to encourage carbonation?
It is an autumn ale from Midwest. I brewed it from the beginners kit. I followed the recipe to a t. I used the bottling sugar they gave me and dissolved it in 1 cup (a little more, probably 10 oz) of water. I put it in the bottom of my bottling bucket and swirled my tubing from my autosiphon to encourage it to mix in with my beer. I thought I did everything correctly.
