Just over a year and a half and I can't get it right. Brewed a holiday ale that had very little carbonation after 2 months in the bottle, still drank most of it, then opened another one up about 8 months after brewing and way over carbed.
Brewed a wit, 6 weeks in the bottle, still hardly any carbonation. It is being held at 72 - 74 degrees, still. I'm sure it will carbonate eventually, but likely when the warm weather is gone. I'll continue to drink one a week until right.
I always add priming sugar based upon the website numerous people on here recommend: The Beer Recipator - Carbonation
So, I'm done with it. I'm buying a kegerator, hopefully the dual tap kegerator from kegconnection.com is good. And, hopefully beer guns work well for bottling beer so I can still bring them to family and friends. I wish I would have figured out bottle conditioning before giving up, but oh well. I'll leave that to the Belgians, and other crazy microbreweries.
Rant over.
