Hi,
After my first successful homebrew of the Coopers Lager kit, I decided to do another batch.
However even after 6 months in bottles my beer has just turned out very fizzy with no head whatsoever and a yeasty taste and has not got better over time at all.
I am very confused as to why as I followed the same instructions as before, the only difference is that instead of using 2 carbonation drops (for 750ml bottles) I used half a teaspoon of sugar (per 500ml bottle). After reading countless forums, half a teaspoon of sugar was said to be the appropriate amount.
In my first batch I actually put the sedement into the bottles (I didn't know) and it did not effect my beer much but with this batch I did not do that at all nor did I disturb the sedement.
Is my batch completely ruined or is there a way to fix this?
Thank you
