What are you drinking tonight 2020.

[Fuzzy Growler]

Looks like you need to crack them open and add more fizz bombs.

I've just felt one from the shed and the Bottle feels more pressurised so maybe I put that one on the fridge too early

 

[Fuzzy Growler]

Pils for today's 2nd

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

Any recommendations to how to fix it?

I’d add more carbonation drops or some sugar because you’re not going to enjoy flat beer. There is of course a risk of some oxidisation but I think that risk is already there if the bottles are not properly carbonated, and flat beer is barely better.

yeah, lets hope, the other thing is have you got somewhere hot at the moment like an airing cupboard, maybe put a couple in there to see if they firm up a bit quicker?

Ah! Yes, if you haven’t allowed sufficient time to carbonate properly, giving them a little longer is a good next step!

On the left - 6% saison. On the right - 6.5% Grapefruit IPA. Waiting in the wings - a NEIPA & Pilsner Lager.

I'll give it a try yeah... Cheers y'all

A few days old, just checking the carbonation... probably should've used all 330s for this batch, abv about 7 as I added a bag of DME thinking I didnt have enough malt.

If you know they all have only half the amount of sugar that they should, crack 'em open and add more. What style of beer is it?

 

[obscure]

My thoroughly mediocre bitter, it’s not that It has a load of off flavours it’s just that it is throughly mediocre. Served ice cold it is quite pleasant much like John Smiths can be on a hot day, so I won’t be pouring it down the sink.

Mate, I feel your pain. Nothing worse than going to all that effort and ending up with dross. Very annoying.

Mangrove Jacks Ipa

I've put one of the beers in the fridge that have been in the shed that feel more carbed so I'll try it later and see if it's any better

 

[Hazelwood Brewery]

I have a bottle of Galaxy/Citra ale that needs drinking because it’s getting on a bit and the hoppy goodness is fading away. It’s one of only two bottles left so maybe I’ll just get these finished.

 

[marshbrewer]

Nice, Im staying at a jwlees at menai bridge early sept and their on tap range is crap.I'll keep an eye out for that. Im taking my portable chiller stocked with hb just in case

Don't they do any j w lees cask? I've seen Moonraker on cask in spoons so it's deffo available in some places.

 

[obscure]

After my thoroughly mediocre pale ale I am consoling myself with a bottle of my Ruby Mild clone, which reminds me that home brew can produce some really decent beers too.

As for my bitter I am tempted to buy some lemonade and use it for shandy.

Well you don't want an IPA to be too fizzy. Are you using plastic bottles?

Have you tried batch priming? It's cheaper than buy carb drops.
