Hi there,
I am reasonably new at this brewing thing, having only done 4 batches to date. One thing I have noticed is that all my beers seem to be half flat. I have used both dextrose tablets, as well as making a bottling mix with DME and adding to the entire brew before bottling. I find when I then open the bottles there is only a limited amount of fizz, they dont retain a head for long, and go flat quickly.
Is there some trick about this I should know about?. The beers I have made so far have all been extract brews from recipes out of the "Clone Brews" book.
Thanks!
