It tasted kinda dry and a strong alcohol taste. The OG was around 1045 and FG was about 1008-1006. It's the coopers lager kit. Well bottle conditioning help this and is it normal?
3 day old beer? i shudder to think what it would taste like
Who among us really NEVER did this with one of our first brews
The 3 weeks at 70 degrees, that we recommend is the minimum time it takes for average gravity beers to carbonate and condition. Higher grav beers take longer.[/B]

Stouts and porters have taken me between 6 and 8 weeks to carb up..I have a 1.090 Belgian strong that took three months to carb up.
Temp and gravity are the two factors that contribute to the time it takes to carb beer. But if a beer's not ready yet, or seems low carbed, and you added the right amount of sugar to it, then it's not stalled, it's just not time yet.
Everything you need to know about carbing and conditioning, can be found here Of Patience and Bottle Conditioning. With emphasis on the word, "patience."
