One of my friends bought an Oktoberfest extract kit from a local brew shop back in the beginning of October. He brought to my house for us to make the beer. This was about the 2nd or 3rd beer I had brewed and new nothing about lagering or lagers for that matter. I didn't take great notes in the begining so I don't have much to tell you. It was fermented around 65 degrees for about 2 weeks and then bottled. The readings were dead on. We realized that this was a lager and the only thing we new was lagers equaled cold so we stuffed them in the fridge and there they sit.
Well, I opened one today to see what was going on and there wasn't much of a pssssst when I opened the bottle. It seemed a little carbonated but not much. It's realativly clear and it tastes like an Oktoberfest, I think.
So, my question is what to do? Will it ever carbonate in the bottles in the fridge? Is this one of those lesson learned things that we dump down the drain?
If I find the ingredients list (not sure if it matters at this point) I'll post it.
Thanks,
Rob
