PROBLEM - Beer was completely flat, no carbonation what's so ever, tasted flat and stale.
I am not sure what happened, I painstakenly followed the directions the best I could. I let sit in primary for about a week then racked to 2ndary for about 3 weeks. When I bottled I diluted and put the priming sugar into the bottleing bucket before pouring from carboy. I let the bottles sit for about 2 weeks in my fridge.
I'm thinking the yeast must have been inactive or dead? What could have caused this? How can I prevent this in the future?
THANKS!
