It wouldn't be a complete "why no carbonation yet" thread without a militant kegger. You sir, are the opposite of helpful to new brewers.

Wait another week, then place one in the fridge for a day or so. If its not carbed even a little bit after 2.5 weeks, you may have a problem.

Carbonation happens gradually. If you have nothing after 3 weeks, let us know. What was the og and fg of your brew? Bigger and darker beers take longer. My Irish red took a week. My stout took almost 5 weeks.

I wouldn't worry until at least the 3rd or 4th week. Temp, beer style are factors too, but id say relax.

I haven't brewed an extract kit yet that didn't taste good. I have no idea what the "extract taste" is. I should probably mention that I've only made 5 batches but none had a bad flavor.

Those blue caps look awesome. I'd say you're doing just fine. now shut the lid and be patient.

I used the dry yeast that came with the kit, Danstar Windsor. I ended at .1014 after 3 weeks in the primary. bottled for 3 more and I Love this beer!

find a new home brew store to get advice from.

I need to pour mine slowly with glass tilted or it bubbles over. Is that normal for home-brewed or do I have a carb problem?

How do u folks pour a home brewed bottle? Slowly in a tilted glass? Thoughtlessly onto the bottom of the glass? No preference of pouring? Or drink straight from the bottle? Is there a right and wrong way? I pour slowly with glass tilted to avoid excessive foam.

Yeah. A plastic tub of some sort. Many have rope handles. Lowes or home depot for 5 bucks.

I wasnt aware of that. Thanks.

Northern brewer has a bavarian hefeweizen that I just brewed. I've been drinking it for a few days and love it. I don't have anything to compare it too though. Find a glass that allows you to place the bottle in it upside down so you can let go of the bottle and let gravity do the pouring for...

I had the same question, and did you secodnary at all?

to the original poster, The thread title caught my eye because I too had brewed the Dead Ringer Extract kit that very morning. I have to admit, I gave up checking OG for extract kits, because I assumed they were correct and any misreadings gave me one more thing to worry about. Anyhow, I'm...

If you did an extract kit, partial boil, followed by adding " top off " water, then your og measurement was likely wrong because your boiled worth and top off water hadn't mixed together well enough. Stratification or something like that? If u did all grain, I don't have a clue. Extract recipes...

I've never had a headache from 1 beer, but after I drink 12 or 13 homebrews, I get a little nauseous. Very strange. The headache usually comes the next morning.

I assumed bottle bombs shot the cap off? Surprised the glass bottom went out before the cap.

I understand. But how could u look at krausen and trub, only to be grossed out (for lack of a better term) by bubbles? Just messing with you. Mostly rhetorical question.

I try all my brews after 1 week. Some are ok, others are not. But even the not ready ones are somewhat drinkable. If you're at 10 days, drink up!
