My last three batches have all had almost zero carb in the bottles. All beers brewed using US-05, rehydrated and pitched at 65-70 degrees.
Rasberry Wheat
FG - 1.016
3 Weeks Primary 66-68 deg
2 weeks secondary 66-68 deg
bottled with 3/4 cup corn sugar, bottled 6/10/09
Nut Brown
FG - 1.012
3 Weeks Primary 66-68 deg
2.5 weeks Secondary 66-68 deg
bottled with 7/8 cup corn sugar, bottled 7/20/09
CSP Summer Ale
FG - 1.011
3 Weeks Primary 66-68 deg
bottled with 1 cup corn sugar, bottled 7/29/09
I placed a selection of these in the fridge last weekend, and after 7 days in the fridge all were flat. All beers have been bottle conditioned at the warmest i can get them, around 68 or so. Am i just not adding enough corn sugar when bottling? Is it just to cool in my home? I plan to move to kegs by xmas time, but until then would like to do a few more batches for bottles.
help.
