bottled an amber about 3 or 4 weeks ago (forgot to write the date in my brew log, so i'm guessing a little, but i know it a minimum of 3 weeks). Yesterday, as per usual for a month after bottling, i put 3 bottles in the fridge to check them out. Last night i cracked the first one, poured it, and it was flat. Great taste, body, and hop aroma, just flat. Drank a few sips, figured i had a bad cap, dumped it and cracked number 2... same thing, except i finished the beer.
I figured maybe had somethign to do with only being in the fridge for about 6 hours (i usually go for a full 24 hrs before drinking a bottle no matter how long it's been in the bottle.)
Today i cracked open #3.... and flat.
I primed with table sugar, which i've done on lots of brews with no probelm (including the 2 i bottled before this batch).
Any thoughts on what the deal is? Am i gonna have to open each bottle and put a carb tab in it or what?
