After a week in the bottle, my awesome russian imperial stout is virtually free of carbonation. OG = 1095, FG = 1.016. Primary for two weeks, secondary for 4 months, and I dosed it with fresh nottingham yeast at bottling time and 4.4 ounces dextrose for the five gallon batch at bottling.
This is quite odd, because usually the fresh notty, takes that sugar and just goes to town, I have a very slight his and super faint carbonation after a week at 65 degrees. I shook the bottles up good and raised the temp in my fermentation room up to 70 degrees.....I am hoping that this takes care of it.
I am hoping to have this beer ready for thanksgiving for my father in law, who is a stout afficianado.
Should I be concerned or just stash this bad boy away for the next 3 months and call it good?
