I use Fermentis Safale S-04 to brew Stouts and British Ales. Normally after two weeks in the fermentors, I bottle right from the fermentors before adding cane sugar in the bottles ( 2.6-2.8g / 330ml), and leave the filled bottles in room temperature for 2 weeks before putting them into fridge. However, around 50% chance that my beers end up no foam at all and the beer taste sweeter than expected, especaily for the last two batches, a brown ale and a best bitter. Since I use a chest freezer and a temperature controller for fermentation, I can recall that I brought down the temperature to 50-60 F ( 10-15 C) before bottling. So I think the low temperature and high flocculation rate of S-04 casued not enought yeast into the bottles to allow carbonation.
Anyone has the same problem with S04 ? Or maybe is not the yeast?
