So we tried our new brew last night, an American wheat, and there was very little carbonation in the bottle. I am a little confused because I am pretty sure we did everything right.
Boiled 1 cup water for 10 mins, then added 5 oz (weighed) of priming sugar, boiled another 5 mins. Let cool to 70 degrees, added to the bottom of the bucket. Racked on top of priming solution and made sure it entered the bucket to create a slow swirling effect. Tried our first one 1 week, 5 days after bottling. I realize this is a LITTLE early, but should still show some more carbonation right?
Maybe I should have slowly stirred it after racking on top? please help!!
Thanks
