It's been at 75-77 and I've agitated a few as well. I left it in Primary for two weeks. I really just think the majority of my priming suger was in the bottom of my bottling bucket when I bottled and I poured it out.
So I brewed a Red Ale, bottled it with priming Sugar(BB corn sugar I beleive). I forgot to stir the 5 gallons before I bottled. After a week no Carbonation. I have Identical priming sugar can I open up some bottles put 2 grams in each and re-bottle? Taste great hate to waste it, going to give a...
Thanks Goat, I just listened to a podcast that discussed the same thing. Going to definately use spring water next. I feel obligated to say to that the Rochefort Flavor has backed off and I have a more traditional Stout now after a few more days of conditioning. Still pleased for a first brew...
