I brewed the following recipe. It was custom that was put together for me by my LHBS.
-3 gal water
-1.5# Red whet
-0.25# 20L
-1 Oz cascade hops
-3# dry malt extract
-1 Oz chinook hops
-16 Oz buckwheat honey
-Safale US-05
I left it in the primary for 1 week, then 2 weeks in the secondary, and 3 weeks in the bottle. Last night I opened the first bottle. It made a hissing sound when I opened the bottle, but the beer seemed flat to me. Did I do something wrong or does it need more time in the bottle? Should I just expect this type of beer to be low carbonation?
