i have been a kegger since day 1... kegging about 30 double batches so far.
i recently tried bottling with great success! so i decided to try again....
and here's my dilema:
i ran out of co2 for pressurizing my keg, and decided to bottle the batch that was presently in the carboy.
this is a coopers real ale, and spent 6 days in the primary bucket, then another 4-5 weeks in a carboy... soooo, i basically bottled it almost 6 weeks after the initial brewing....
when bottling, i added the recomended amount of priming sugar and sealed them up just as before.
my problem is, i dont see any signs of reaction in the bottle after 3 days.... i think i should start seeing some sediment by now. but i dont.. and one of my bottles is clear, so i have a good look at it.
should i be alarmed???? should i pour them all back into a carboy, re yeast it and wait another week before rebottling????? or is there a chance they will still pressure up? they are stored at a temp of 18 degrees.
thanx in advance,
shnitzel.
