so I tried bottle carbing and got no carbonation, wondering if I racked/cleared all of the yeast out of it as it is very clear. So my question is would I be able to sprinkle a small amount of yeast into each bottle along with the sugar to get it to carbonate?

fermenting nicely now, first yeast I added must have been no good.

thanks for the pointers guys, have 3 different versions going so what I get in three weeks.

thanks for the input guys see what she looks like in the morning. fingers crossed.
