Hi All,
I am very new to the brewing and opted for a Mr. Beer kit. I tried the lager but it came out flat and very malty (tasted like the malt extract kit). I followed all the directions so I am bit confused - how could I could mess up so bad?? Any ideas?
Edit: Fermented for two weeks and there was activity. Bottled for another two weeks then chilled. Beer tastes like there was no carbonation. Reading comments below, sounds like the bottling phase should have been longer. Thoughts?
