fellow brewers,
i recentley have had 2 lager kits (coopers european and Cooper's Mexican Cerveza). both were brewed to the kit instructions, cleared nicely but had no fizz to them whatsoever. got the down to the FG. i used 1/2 light spray malt and brewing sugar. kept them in the warmth for a week then out in the cold for 3 weeks.
has anybody had this problem or found a solution to overcome it????
thanks in advance

Re: flat lager
did u forget to prime them?
can only think that they might not have sealed properly.

Re: flat lager
I had exactly the same problem with the last lager I made; John Bull. Primed at 1/2 tsp per pint, crown capped the bottles in exactly the same fashion as I always do.
Flat as a pancake; ended up drinking it half-and-half with lemonade to make it passable.
No problem though, not being a great lager drinker I now don't make lager.
