How long did you let it sit before opening? Did you chill it fully before opening??
Rules for bottle carbonating...
1. The minimum time is 3 weeks at 70F
2. Chill a sample bottle for at least 5 days, 7 being better.
3. The 3 weeks at 70F is a MINIMUM time frame. Trying before then most often results in postings about bottles being under (or not) carbonated.
There's too many posts to count covering this already.
