I am just about ready with my first batch (I think). My amber ale has been in bottles for 13 days after 2 weeks of fermentation. I just took one bottle as a sample last night. I let it cool in the fridge and gave it a taste.....it was good but the one thing I noticed was that it seemed under carbonated as compared to what I buy commercially. There was head, but it was very small.
I am wondering if I should let them condition for more time or maybe I didn't use enough priming sugar (used the pack that came with the kit I bought).
Are home brews just a little less carbonated then the store bought stuff?
