Hey yall.
I bottled an OG 1.090 IIPA on April 4th and I cracked one the other day and it's flat as hell. I used DME to prime it because my HBS was out of corn sugar. I have a priming calculator on my phone that tells you how much corn sugar, DME, or whatever else you're priming with, to use. So I think I used the correct amount. I think I was going for 1.9 vol of c02 but I'll have to check my notes to be 100% on that. I believe I used White labs 001 CA yeast. I think there's too much alcohol for the yeast to carbonate the beer.
Basically my question is should I pop each one and put in carbonation drops? Should I add a little bit of yeast to each one and see what happens? Will it carb up over a longer period of time? I don't really want to drink it flat. Any suggestions would be awesome.
