Thx everyone for helping

I opened few more bottles, some of them was like 90%, some had small amount of bubbles. One was more or less ok, but but carbonation reminded me pepsi. Is it safer just to add sugar directly in the bottle?

What is the best way to make sure that it mixed throughout? Usually i just pour it on top of beer in fermentor

Could you give more details how could it be that priming sugar not evenly mixed in the beer? I boiled sugar, cooled and add to wort. I transfer wort to separate fermentor before bottling and volume was pretty accurate.

I calculate priming sugar with calculator brewer friend, boil it and add to wort. Fermenting was done, but very quickly because i had very hot environment.

Hi everyone, i met a problem with my beer. After opening i had i huge amount of foam and beer taste was over-carbonated and feels yeasty. I kept it for 2 week for bottle conditioning and 1.5 week in fridge. Also i had very hot environment while fermenting. Should i give it more time in a fridge...

I mean i never see that temperature grows so much at the beginning. Usually i'm ready to 3-4C grow but 10 up was a surprise for me :)

Thx for response, but is it ok that temperature get so hight at the beginning?

Hi everyone, i met an issue at the beginning of the fermentation. Temperature grows up to 32C and fermentation process was very active. After 48h it stoped, temperature 22C and airlock looks dead. Yeast was MANGROVE JACK'S CS YEAST M15 EMPIRE ALE I have 2 question 1) Should i handle this...

Thx everyone for help, this morning airlock start working :)

I taped on the cover and i see bubbles in the airlock, so i assume no leak issue. Could the huge amount of headspace be a problem? And is it worth to check gravity in a few day, may be fermentation process is ok?

I used full package

I added water after i pitched the yeast, to correct gravity, could it be the issue?

Yeast was m44, pitch temp around 20 Celsius. Carboy isn't transparent, right can't see what is inside. Bung is sealed and i use 3 piece airlock

Hi, I don't see any airlock activity after 24h. I got a lot of headspace in primary, 16 liters in 30 liters plastic carboy. Will i see any activity or headspace are too much? The reason I'm asking because i will go for a secondary for dry hopping, and i want to know when to transfer. Im doing...
