Hello!
I’m hoping someone could help me out here. I recently brewed a Fresh Squeezed IPA clone and I recently tasted a bottle after two weeks in the primary bucket fermenter and two weeks bottle conditioning.
When I opened the bottle, I first noticed there is very little carbonation. I poured it out to taste it and there was no head but the initial taste test was good, then finished pretty sweet.
I’m thinking this all of this is due to poor fermentation. I haven’t had issues in the past but I’d used lme as well as WyEast yeast. This time, I used white labs and dme.
This is also the first beer I’ve brewed at our new house and I think the temperature of the room I fermented it in is between 66 - 70 degrees. I think it might have been too low.
So what do you think? Is it the yeast, temperature, age of the beer or something else? Will this improve with time? I bottled half and keg the other.
