Hello all
I just Brewed a northern Brewer extra pale ale extract kit. The Abv ended up around 4.5%
The recipe recommended 2/3 cup of priming sugar to 16 oz of water for mixing in brew before bottling. This is my 5th batch and I've always used a full 5 oz of priming sugar but my last batch came out over carbonated and I had a hard time with every bottle over flowing so I figured 2/3 cup would be fine and it would help me not have super carbed beer like last time.
Well it's been a week and a half in the bottle and I popped one to see how it's going and there was not even the slightest hint of carbonation. I looked at a couple others and there was barely any residue at the bottom and usually it's a dang slop down there by this point.
Is it possible to use too little priming sugar? Im sure it is possible but is 2/3 cup not enough for a brew like this?
I know it's still super early I've just had pretty much the exact same results with my last 4 batches so I'm wondering why this ones different
Let me know what I you think. Thanks!
