Well, I have had an amber ale in bottles for about 4 weeks. I did make sure to add the priming sugar to the beer (bottling bucket) immediately before bottling. I pretty much just added it directly to the bottling bucket and the it went right into bottles. I capped it with a hand capper and let them sit in a box between 62 and 70 degrees. Now the beer is pretty much completely flat. A few bubbles come up as soon as I pour it, but it dissipates very soon. Any common problems that I may have run into? I was incredibly careful not to get any of the trub into the bottling bucket so maybe there wasn't enough yeast in the bottles? I filled all of the bottles and then capped them all so there was a time when they were uncovered, but it couldn't have been more than 15 minutes. I used a kit from Austin Homebrew. Any help is appreciated and TIA!
