Brewers Best Gluten Free Ale

[arhomebrew1]

I made the Brewers Best Gluten Free Ale. It tastes good, but with low carbination. I used the 5oz sugar packet. 10 days primary, 2 weeks secondary. Any suggestions?

More time....my gf beers take much longer than barley beers to carb and condition.

They are typically best after 2 months and longer

I'd consider my batch of that to be rather low carbed too. I think I left mine in primary for 9 days (thanks work schedule!) and then bottled. Sat room temp before moving them to the fridge for 2 weeks. I moved them in groups do some bottles were bottle conditioning for almost a month.

But I didn't use the included bottling sugar, I used 2 packets of table sugar per 16oz PET bottle. I...forget exactly why I did this.

Side note, after a month and change in the fridge, it tastes more hoppy than it did at the first tasting.

What temp did you have the bottles at during carbonation? My GF batches carb within 2 weeks at 72 to 76F.

70ish, maybe a little less.

But some bottles stayed out of the fridge for nearly a month. I mean it's still a decent beer, IMO.

They say if the sugar is in there the yeast will eventually find it. Should eventually carb if it does not get consumed first

FWIW I have a batch of what otherwise would be Igs' no nonsense stout, and it seems to have had no carb problems. I haven't opened any yet, but the plastic bottles are nice and hard.

+1 about GF beers taking a little longer to carb up, I always give mine 2 weeks minimum though they seem mostly carbed after about 1 week.
