Guys, I brewed my second batch and didn't get carbonation. Can you tell me what may have happened and what do you think I can do to correct. Here are my notes:
11/11/2011 Brew Day. Irish Stout kit from Brewers Best. OG was 1.05
11/24. 1.018
12/5. 1.016. Transferred to secondary
12/30 1.016. Bottled
This all happened around 65-70 degrees, after bottling I left it in a cooler room. 55 degrees. Tested a beer on 1-13 no carbonation, so I moved it back to 68 degrees. Put four in the fridge on 2-1 and tested today. No carb again.
I used about 4 oz of corn sugar, racked directly on it.. The yeast was Nottingham.
Beer has good taste just no bubbles. The remaining yeast is very sludgy on the bottom. I shook a little, even moved upside down for a few day hoping to move the yeast.
Do you have any suggestions for me?
