Hi All,
I've been making homebrew now for 3 years with no problems using a Coopers kit. Every batch turns out fine....except the last one. Every bottle i opened was flat and when i turned the cap there wasn't even the slightest release of gas ??. This was the first ever brew on which i used a brew belt to help keep the temp constant....could that have caused the flat beer or might it be something else.

Thanks,
Jen
