I made this small batch since I can only mash 13 lbs with my setup. It was my first higher gravity beer. The bottles have conditioned at around 70 degrees for almost 6 months now. There is NO carbonation. Any I was thinking of dropping a carb tab in. I know there are some posts regarding this, but I haven't seen any that dealt with higher gravity beer. Here is the recipe.
8 lbs Pale Malt (2 Row) US (2.0 SRM) 59.5 %
2 lbs Gambrinus Dark Munich Malt - 30L (30.0 S Grain 14.9 %
11.2 oz White Wheat Malt (2.4 SRM) 5.2 %
8.0 oz Brown Malt (65.0 SRM) 3.7 %
8.0 oz Caramel/Crystal Malt - 40L (40.0 SRM) 3.7 %
4.0 oz Chocolate Malt (412.0 SRM) 1.9 %
1.50 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.40 %] - First Wort Hop
1 lbs 8.0 oz Trader Joe's Organic Brown Sugar (8.0 SR Sugar 11.2
2.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.40 %] - Boil 90.0 Hop
0.25 tsp Irish Moss (Boil 10.0 mins) Fining - 1.00 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.40 %] - 1.50 oz Goldings, East Kent [5.40 %] - Boil 0.0 Hop
1.0 pkg Northwest Ale (Wyeast Labs #1332) [125.0 Yeast -
Bottle carbed with 42 grams priming sugar. The batch yield was approx 3 gallons and I was hoping for a 2.2ish carb level.
Can this brew be saved? Flavor profile came out great, but beer is completely flat.
