Hi all, just sitting down to one of my Munich Lagers, latest one I did.
Taste and everything is real good, but one problem is that its a bit on the flat side? In all its ok but I wouldnt mind a bit more bubbles / head.
Recipe was ; Wander Munich Lager Tin, 1 kg Dextrose, 500g Malt. Fermented well, and it bottled nice and clear.
Bottled into long necks...Any ideas ?????............Cheers

Re: Munich Lager Bit Flat
How did you prime? Bulk prime, carb drops, prime measure into each bottle, etc?
The longnecks that you used, PET or glass?

G'day vinesy.
I had a Coopers Draught recently which i had to leave for 2 months before it had enough carbonation to drink. It too tasted good, fermented and bottled well, but was a bit flat for ages. I used carb drops, 2 per glass longneck. On advice from these forums i left it and it came up fine. Maybe you could do the same.
Cheers.

Happened to me with a batch of Best Bitter brewed last year.
I only primed with half my usual amount of caster sugar. Took about 2 months to get there, but it was worth the wait.
