I was curious, it's my first time brewing- I'm making an IPA, and I'm at 10 days and there are practically no bubbles coming through the airlock, and my expected FG is pretty much at its final place. After testing that FG, I took a sip of the beer and didn't get much carbonation, if any, in the beer. Should I have or is the overwhelming majority of the co2 from conditioning? Thanks!
 
no, you beer should be pretty much flat. Bottle conditioning or kegging is when you get your carbonation. There is some c02 in your beer, but really low for tasting.
 
Thanks, also, I should have read the FAQ thread pinned to the top. My bad for starting a stupid thread.

Cheers!
