greetings
we brewed a recipe for an IPA. we bottled on 12/26, waited two weeks and opened our first bottle this week. it was completely flat. flavor wasn't bad, and it seemed to have some alcohol content, but no carbonation. we primary fermented it a week, racked it off and dry hopped it to a carboy, and secondaried it another week. it was a very cold two weeks, and the fermenting room wasn't very warm (60-62 probably). we figure it was two cold for the yeast.
any hope of saving the batch? can we pour the bottles back into a carboy, and re-yeast? maybe add some sugars?
thanks
