I know, I know: "Wait."
2nd batch has been bottled about a week and a half. Our first one was fully carbed after 6 days (it was a brown ale). Still had a green flavor, but a very nice, frothy head. This one has absolutely no head at all. I was expecting at least some. Wondering if this should be cause for concern. When we were bottling, we lost about a gallon somewhere (still new, so probably got scared of the yeast sediment in the primary and secondary and stopped siphoning early), so when preparing the bottling sugar solution, i used the whole 5 oz of sugar, but didnt pour the whole solution in the bottling bucket, just most of it. Could I have underestimated what I needed?
Any suggestions? Thanks guys!
