Greetings, This is my first post here - I've been perusing for a while and have found lots of wonderful information and helpfulness. I'm hoping someone might be able to give me a hand.
I made a batch of rootbeer on Saturday morning (23gal / 5L) using 4.4LBS sugar, water, malto dextrin, brewers yeast, and ROYAL syrup. I bottled this into PETN plastic bottles and capped them. I left them to sit on my counter for about a day and a half. After that I've taken them to the basement (not in cold storage).
As of last night my bottles are still not feeling extremely firm; I cracked my test bottle and it smells very yeasty and tastes like yeasty root beer (malt root beer maybe).
I'm not sure if i just need to wait longer or perhaps I wrecked the batch? any ideas would be helpful.
