I brewed up a Brown Ale
Starting Gravity = 1.064 Final Gravity = 1.013(per the recipe), I got 1.016 FG
Fermented in the primary for SIX weeks and then bottled!
Added 5oz of corn sugar boiled with water and cooled to the bottling bucket, then siphoned in the 5 gallons...
Man this beer has the potential to taste GREAT, but with out carb it's like a Guinness.
The bottles have been sitting @ 72 ~ 74 degrees for the past 24 days and although I get an anemic pfst upon opening a bottle there is ZERO carbonation in the beer. Kegging is not an option.
Now I'm worried about bottling my Triple that's been in the secondary for 4 months and a wee heavy that's been sitting for 3 months....
HELP! ADVICE!
recipe:
Mini Mash
4.0 lbs Muntons Light LME
4.5 lbs 2-row Brewers Malt
14 oz Victory Malt
14 oz Special Roast Malt
14 oz Crystal 60 Malt
2 oz Chocolate Malt
1.0 oz Cascade pellet hops (Bittering)
0.25 oz Nugget pellet (US) hops (Bittering)
0.25 oz Fuggle pellet hops (Flavoring)
0.5 oz Fuggle pellet hops (Finishing)
1 tsp. Irish moss
2/3 to 3/4 cup corn sugar to prime
Wyeast 1056 (2L starter)
