Hey guys,
first post, been listening for a while to the podcast.
Just made a porter, my second batch and while I was clean, had a very stable ferm and secondary temp (65 in a drop in freezer with temp thermom), the carbonation was almost nill.
I used extract, pale at 9lbs and a single vile of white labs california ale.
starting was 1.065
I had a moderate bubble during fermentation and when bottling my FG wad 1.012, so I know the yeast was active - 6.8abv.
I used a pre filled bag of sugar the homebrew store gave me, the one they use with there recipes, not sure how much but it looks like a cup.
My last batch was a lower OG and the fermentation was about 4 deg warmer, that batch had great carbonation.
any tips or help in why this might have happened. I'm thinking either not enough priming sugar or the yeast pooped out on the OG by the end.
