The first batch I made was an IPA with an OG of 1.064 and a FG of 1.022. After a week I racked to a secondary and let it go for 2 weeks before bottling. I used 3/4 cup priming sugar boiled in ~2 cups of water and racked the beer on top of the sugar in the bottling bucket. All bottles were sanitized.
Even now, after about 2 months of being bottled, the beer has almost no carbonation. I shook the bottles and listened for CO2 escaping but didn't hear anything, and all the beers tasted fine, they were just basically flat. Is it possible that there was too little yeast left over to carbonate? Any thoughts or tips are appreciated.
