A friend of mine recently made a pale ale extract/steeping kit (his first). The primary and secondary fermentation went well, so did the bottling. The beer had bottle conditioned for 3 weeks, but when I opened one up, there was NO carbonation. I tried to determine what the cause is, and the only thing I can think of is that when he bottled, he put the beer right into the fridge.
Can anyone confirm or deny if that is the case, and if it is, will it ever carbonate? Should he take the beer out of the fridge and let it bottle condition for a couple of weeks? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
