This forum has helped me a ton so I'm hoping it'll come through again
I've recently just completed my 4th all grain batch and it's been in the bottles for about 7 days now. I opened up a tester today (hear me out haha) and got the sound of carbonation but when I poured it the beer was almost totally flat.
What worries me is this is the third beer in a row that's done this. My first beer was fine but since then I've had major carbonation issues. I've been using the same process for bottling (same bottles,corn sugar, star-san, etc) so I'm totally stumped.
I think my first beer I racked to a secondary (these last three I have not) but aside from that the fermentation process has been the same. I wait until my gravity readings level out then put the fermenter in the basement for a week to try and drop out some yeast.
Any ideas on what could be going on here? The beer itself tastes good so it's really frustrating to have it not carbonated.
