What makes CO2 when brewing beer?
My dad is brewing beer and he had to dump atleast 1 1/2 cases of beer because they were all flat. He sealed them right with the bottle capper, no cracks in the bottles, hes trying out different recipies with molts and hops and hes wondering why the beer he made was completly flat? Was less hops or less molts had to do with it? Anything that can make beer flat please let me know. Thanks
Once the beer is fermented in the secondary container (or if you’re bottling from the primary, then the primary), you need to add priming sugar to the bottling container, then move your brewed beer into that. From here you can bottle and the yeast will convert the priming sugar in the bottles into CO2. Careful, though, too much sugar and your bottles will explode.
As a side note, virtually all your macrobreweries don’t do this. They force CO2 into the bottles from CO2 tanks. It’s cheap, and evil.
