Greetings,
It's been 6 months from my first batch and 3 from my second one. In both batches some of those beers had good carbonation but most of them had a low carbonation. Before checking possible causes such as priming sugar, or no stirring in wort of that priming sugar, I would like check if capping might be the problem. The good carbonated beers had a strong pop sound when they where opened. Low carbonated beers had a weak hiss instead. In my opinion, a weak hiss means there was indeed a tight seal because the CO2 could not get out of the bottle. Badly capped bottles have really flat beer and cannot retain any gas at all. I am right?. Thanks in advance.
