Hi, new brewer here
I have been making the australian lager from the coopers brew kit and followed eveverything by the letter. Final gravity worked out perfectly etc.
I have tightly screwed caps when bottling and left them for 3 weeks in complete darkness in the recommended temperature.
However when I pour the beer out there is no foam apart from fizzy foam that goes away in about 20 seconds to a minute. The beer looks fizzy and you can also hear the fizz.
Another problem I'm having is that the beer still tastes and smells a little bit yeasty compared to normal beer..
The kit is supposed to make 40 pints, however I have to pour out 10 pints worth of beer because the bottom of the bottles are just too yeasty, is that normal?
Does anyone know what I've done wrong?
I really appreciate the help!
