My brew partner says different, but I say on a day we bottled two batches that we forgot to prime one of the batches. We bottled a Belgium Strong and a (Dont laugh) a Tequiza clone. After 7 days, i tried one of the clones and it was flat as all get out. The Belgium on the other hand was full of carbonation. IF we did in fact prime the clone, well let me back up first. The clone fermented very aggresively. Almost blew the fermenter top off. After 2 weeks, I transerferred to secondary and added a mason jar with 1.5 oz of tequila, 11oz of agave nectar and 4 lime peels that had been marinating for a week. The secondary began fermenting again for about 36 hours then settled down. Is there a chance that the stronger alcohol of the tequila killed the yeast? Im new to brewing and suspect that the easiest explanationis that I just forgot to prime. I reprimed 6 bottles tonite and stored in the laundry room that averages 75-78 degrees to help stir up the yeast. Ill chill and open one this Sunday after 6 days and see what happens. What do yall think?
