I brewed a pretty big beer sometime ago, 1.091 OG, which had an FG of 1.013. It sat in the primary for about 2 weeks, then another 3 in secondary before bottling. Now it's been sitting in the bottles at ~70F for about 3.5 weeks, but the carbonation still seems pretty low. I know often times it takes longer to carb bigger beers, but can I speed it up a little bit by gently swirling the bottles to kick the yeast into gear? The beer was pretty clear while bottling, so I'm afraid there was very little yeast and those that were there, were pretty tired. So what do you think? More time in bottles, or can I swirl?
