Hi everyone,
As I mentioned in a previous post I brewed and bottled my first two batches last month and am just now cracking open a bottle to enjoy the finished product. Batch number 2 is still bottle conditioning and carbing, but my question today pertains to batch #1.
I bottled batch number 1 approximately 3 weeks ago and sampled at the 6 day and 10 day mark, and each day after that. The change over as little as a 24 hour period was amazing to behold. All first time brewers heed the advice of many - have patience!
The strange thing is that there is a marked difference in carbonation between bottles within the same batch. I opened a bottle 2 days ago and the carbonation was impressive. I opened a bottle last night and the carbonation seemed fairly weak. I tested a few others and carbonation seems to be all over the place. What gives?
As an FYI - When I added the priming sugar I made sure to gently but thoroughly mix it with the beer. Did I mess this up?
Any help is much appreciated!
