I am drinking an American Ale that came out pretty good. I am using the "Grolsch" style bottles. The carbonation is very good but a few of the bottles have been flat. Does anyone know why this would happen?
In bottle for 20 days to date. I pour in the priming sugar/1 cup boiling water mixture at beginning and toward end of rack from primary to bottling bucket. Then the quietly thing is a slow stir to not add any oxygenation to make sure the priming sugar is mixed in.
This beer is a bit over carbed and I'm wondering if it is not forcing out a not properly seated gasket. I'm going to take a close look at gasket seating and head space. I try to use about 3/4 inch.
On a separate note how do i put up my avatar picture? I have it on my profile page but it does not show up on my posts.
I only use 1 cup H2o/to 3/4 cup priming sugar per 5 gal batch. I will keep a critical eye on the seals before opening.
As far as weighing volume for priming.....I is a left handed, aggie, pollock, so that is a bit above my brewing level just yet.
Some ready. Some not.
