Bubbles in Bottles?

[Chris_Dog]

It seems that bubbles in the home brew I have made so far are quite a bit larger than the ones in commercial beer. I am wondering if it is something I am doing or is it the difference between natural carbonation and CO2 injection?

Just wondering

Next time you will want to use less priming sugar. How much sugar you put in will change the volume of co2 in the final beer.

When I made my first few batches I was using table sugar as opposed to brewers corn sugar as the primer. Do you think that would do it?

I have only made a few batches so I don't know but I don't think the beer was "over primed". Mainly I say this because it didn't seem to hold onto its head for long.
Cheers!!!

seems to me that the longer you leave it to mature the better the bubbles will stay - they tend to be smaller and the beer head gets smoother.

I've found that after a month or two of aging, the individual bubble size seems to do down into a froth. I think it has more to do with the ingredients of the beer. My Belgians have a REAL frothy/creamy head... my stouts not so much. The bubble size seems to smooth out after a little aging though
