Had a number of batches under my belt and overall, they went pretty good until I decided to make a Strawberry Wheat. However, this one was a little different. There was no carbonation. Nothing at all. Tried a couple of bottles and both were the same.
I used Austin Homebrew's American Wheat http://www.austinhomebrew.com/product_info.php?products_id=326
Extract - Liquid: 7 lb Liquid Malt Extract, .5 lb Base Grains, .75 lb Specialty Grains.
Extract - Dry: 6 lb Dry Malt Extract, .5 lb Base Grains, .75 lb Specialty Grains.
Mini Mash - Liquid: 5 lb Liquid Malt Extract, 1.25 lb Base Grains, 2 lb Specialty Grains.
Mini Mash - Dry: 4 lb Dry Malt Extract, 1.25 lb Base Grains, 2 lb Specialty Grains.
All Grain: 5 lb Base Grains, 4.75 lb Specialty Grains.
And added 2 oz of Strawberry extract with the priming sugar at bottling.
The original gravity and final gravity were right on. The fermenation looked pretty healthy.
The only mistake I can think of is a problem at bottling, where I had one bottle cap that wouldn't fit on a bottle. So she poured the beer back into the bottling bucket.
The real question is what can I do to save this batch? It tastes pretty good, minus the whole lack of carbonation issue.
