About two weeks ago I bottled a second batch of beer and when I pop the top, there seems to be very little carbonation. I used about 1 cup of corn sugar for a five gal batch. Is there anything I can do to rescue both these batches.....??????
 
Wait a couple more weeks! What temperature have you been keeping the bottles at?
 
what type of beer?
whats the orig gravity?
whats the final gravity?
what temperature were the bottles stored at?
whats the target co2 volume?
 
That's a lot of corn sugar. Be prepared for bottle bombs, especially if you're not getting any carbonation in some bottles. That's a hint that you had problems getting it mixed correctly. More than likely, you're going to have some extremely carb'd beer. 3/4 cup is normal for 5gals. Even then, it can be too much
