I normally use 5oz corn sugar to bottle, however this time I made a spiced holiday ale to hand out as presents to people and I thought "I know, I'll use brown sugar as priming sugar instead." So I looked that up on here, everything I found said to use 2/3rd cups of brown sugar in two cups of water, so I did. I boiled it and let it cool, like I normally would, and then I bottled. It's been four days and there is no hint of carbonation even. When I used corn sugar, it's usually at least lightly carbonated after three days. I still have time to recrack these bottles, pour them out, and priming sugar the batch again, but I don't want to do that and have it be hyper-carbonated or something. Can anyone shead any light on this at all? Should I be worried?
