Hi, I have quick question. I have made a batch of tooheys draught beer. Carbonated with sugar.
I have opened the first bottle of the brew, then another to find the beer tastes flat. Heaps of hiss when the bottle opens. Then the dissapoint ment of a beer with no bubbles.
The Question I ask is. Can I re carbonate the beer. eg back into the fermentor add more sugar and give it another kick start to see if it comes good?
Please excuse the spelling the mistakes. In dissapointment I opened the next batch. Cascade spicey ghost. And all my probs are being numbed nicely.
Any Ideas

You don't need to put it back inot the fermenter, you can just open each stubbie and put some sugar into the bottle and re-cap.

But you probably don't need to.

Open one, and put a teaspoon of sugar in, and if it overflows, it shows that the beer is actuallt carbonated.

Are you pouring the beer into glasses? Are the glasses greasy, ot ever had milk etc in them?

It may not be the beer, but the glasses.

It sounds like they simple need more time. You have head pressure as you here it on opening. Give them 2 weeks somewhere warm then try again.

Hi I will give the glass a wash with the proper suds. Will also try the sugar trick. have done the last lot with dextrose.

The temperature I didn't think about that. The beer in my shed is that cold that I don't have to put it in the fridge. When I do that it defrosts. I will move the bottled beer to a warmer enviroment. Wonder if I am aloud to put it in the house!
