I bottled my American Light extract kit beer a couple weeks ago. It should be done carbing. I get an amazing head but very little carbonation IN the beer itself. A few bubbles sticking to the sides of the glass, that's about it. Beer tastes a bit flat.
Meanwhile, I bottled an APA about 5 days ago. The same thing seems to be happening to the APA as well. I know, I know , the APA has at least another week to carb but as it stands right now, the APA has the same style carbonation as the American light thats been carbing for at least 3 weeks...I'm confused.
The American light and APA were both primed with 5oz of corn sugar boiled in 2 cups of water. American light had about 5.15 gallons bottled. The APA, 5 gallons bottled.
Here's a pic of the APA to show you the property of the carbonation (American light has the same exact properties, but 3 weeks in)
