no carbonation

Thu Jan 21, 2010 11:50 am

Every bottle that I have opened from my last batch of IPA has very little carbonation. The only thing I did differently this time was dry hopping in secondary for a week. Is there anything I can do to fix the rest of my beer? It has been sitting in the bottles now for about 2 months and still not drinkable.

Tell us about your process. Did you let them sit at room temp to carb up or are they cold? How much priming sugar did you use?

You could pop the top on each on and add back a little bit of dry yeast and a litle sugar then re-cap.

+1 to what Brandon said... let us know what all you did to get to that point.
