I tasted my nut brown today after two weeks in the bottle and it is still completely flat... no change from when i tasted it last week... i know many people have had problems with beer not carbonating... but ive never had a beer this flat after two full weeks. do i just need to give it more time? roll the bottles around like some posts have suggested? I carbed it with 3/4 cup of corn sugar boiled in about a pint of water as I always do.


The flavors pretty good, so if it ever bubbles up it'll be a tasty beer
im hoping its just a slow carbonator

Just an old man's musing here, but have you ever wondered why the big old breweries use one yeast to brew and another to bottle???

I can think of three reasons:
1. ferment with proprietary strain
2. Bottling strain has better long term storage
3. Bottling strain flocculates and sticks to the bottom better
