This is my first batch of beer. I brewed using a kit and followed the instructions. I left the beer in primary for 1 week, secondary for 2 weeks, then bottled. I used the priming sugar that came with my kit, cooked it according to the instructions, poured it in my bottling bucket and racked the beer on top of it. I used glass bottles with a hand bottler and bottled the beer. It's been sitting in my basement at 70+ F for the last three weeks. I tried a bottle a week ago, it was flat. I tried it last night and today, still flat. Don't get me wrong, it tastes great, but I enjoy a little CO2 with my beer.
What do you think has happened, and can I fix it? What can I do differently in the future to ensure proper carbonation? What is the "key" to a nicely carbed beer?
Thanks!
