Folks -
I got a counter pressure bottling wand. Two valves at the top. One for beer. The other for CO2. I have a 2 stage regulator. I have the CO2 from one side going into the keg. The other to the CO2 leg of my bottling wand.
Beer is pretty well carbonated. Almost over carbonated.
Process:
Fill bottle with air. Burp the CO2 out. Do it a couple times. To purge Oxygen.
Open the beer valve. I don't get a lot of foam. Let it fill. I let the cork slightly loose in the bottle so I get a slow fill.
Yank the bottling wand out. Cap it right away.
I can't stress enough. I don't get a lot of foam and I don't leave a lot of head space. About as much as you would see in commercially bottled beer.
Any thoughts as to why my beer is pretty flat when I pour it out in a glass? is this just normal?
