I bottled some of my imperial stout around 4 weeks ago. I had drank one around one week in, it tasted great. Then a few days ago I pulled out another one and chilled it down, then popped it open, but there was no pop and no carbonation. The first one I had was super carbonated, so this is what gets me confused. Then the next day I opened up another two and the same from each.
I was having some trouble bottling this because the hops I used for dry-hopping weren't in a bag and kept clogging the racking cane.
I guess my major question is have you experienced this as well. And what would normally cause this, just not waiting long enough between adding the priming sugar and bottling or not enough mixing after adding it?
The flavors of the carbonated and uncarbonated beers were distinctly different and should be getting better with age right? This is not the case as it seemed to be getting worse with age.
Anyone else ever get licorice flavors in any of their beers?
