This has never happened to me.
1. Midwest Supplies Golden Ticket Rye Pale Ale extract kit, met the start/end gravities exactly. fermented at 65-68F for 3 weeks in a pail.
2. used the provided corn sugar (boiled in the correct amount of water - cooled) poured in my bottling bucket. Racked in the beer, bottling 10, stirring gently, repeat, so as to keep the sugar well suspended and distributed.
Let sit for 4 weeks at 65-68F
I tased one - completely flat.
I tasted another, in a different size bottle, and from a different time in the bottling process (i.e. 5 minutes later and stirred) - Flat.
What could have gone wrong?
No bottle bombs.
Is it possible the Corn Sugar is no good?
