Bottled a batch of "Bad Santa" ale 5 weeks ago. I tried one 2 weeks ago with not a single bottle hissing when opening. Gave it more time, and I am 0/3 today.
This is my 50th + bottle batch, and the first one that didn't carb. I did forget to put bottling sugar in when I did my transfer, but stopped 1/4 way through and put in the sugar (with some stirring) and then finished the transfer. OG was 1.085, FG 1.018. Storage temperature about 75 degrees.
It does taste pretty good flat, but won't get any fan points from the family most likely.
I did just get a new kegging set up and was thinking about doing a grand bottle opening, transferring, and then do a force carb.
Thoughts?
