I bottled a Honey Brown Ale two weeks ago and just opened one up for the first time. Though the taste is fantastic, the beer is almost completely flat. When I added my priming sugar at bottling I used about 4 oz. for 5 gallons. The package recommends 5 oz. but that has often overcarbonated my beer in the past.
Since I really do like the taste of this I don't want to give up on it yet. Any suggestions for how I should proceed? I don't have any CO2 equipment so that's not an option. I'd like to try and just open it all up and re-bottle it. Is this possible? If so, I don't know how much more priming sugar I should add since I already used 4 oz., and I don't know if I will need to re-pitch some yeast as well.
I'm grateful for any advice.
