You need to "prime" the beers when you bottle it after fermentation is complete. Generally you use a solution of about 3/4 cup of sugar to a 5 gallon batch. The residual yeast will eat up this sugar in the bottle and create small amounts of carbonation (2.2-2.4 CO2 volumes if you want to get technical). This process usually takes 2-3 weeks in the bottles.

If you invest in further equipment though you can bypass this stage by getting a kegging set-up and then you can do what is called "force carbonation" in which you just blast CO2 in to the liquid with a C02 gas canister.

the gaz will come after you ad some sugar before you bottle it..

the yeast will eat the sugar and this will give "alcool + CO2 . Do not put more than 1 teaspoon of sugar /bottle, because the bottle will explode.. this should be mentioned in the recipe..
