Home Brewing Tip

Flat beer troubles got you down?
“You’ve done everything right. Followed instructions just like you’ve always done. One week, 2 weeks, 1 month... flat beer! I don’t know of a reason unless you’ve left an excessive amount of sterilant in your bottles or you are storing your beer at excessively cool temperatures. If so, try storing the bottles at room temperature. If that doesn’t work, uncap the beer and drop in a few grains of new dried beer yeast and recap. If that doesn’t work, open the bottles again and add 1/4 tsp. corn sugar to each 12-ounce bottle. If that fails, your final resort is to blend your flat beer with carbonated beer just before serving. It works every time.”
