Hi all,
I brewed a barley wine in December, and bottled in May. Just popped one and there's no carbonation. Not faint carbonation, none. It's like coffee. Taste is excellent though! I'm guessing the high alcohol content killed the yeast during fermentation (this thing was big). I don't want to pour these bottles back into my priming bucket and pour more yeast, so what do you recommend, if anything?
In advance, I did prime properly (not my first batch). Not puffing my chest, but just filtering out the most obvious problems like forgetting to prime.
Thanks!
