I have an Brewers Best IPA that I bottled a little over a week ago. I tried one the other day and it had very little carbonation and sweet. Also I noticed a bitter aftertaste. I tried a second bottle today this one had no carbonation, tasted like ipa and the same bitter after taste as the first. (almost like a soapy taste). The one thing I did mess up on is the priming sugar. I didnt add it to boiling water. I just dumped the package in the bottling bucket and stirred. I was wondering if its contaminated or do i need to move the bottles to a warmer area (basement is right around 64-65 degrees)? I do know that they need to age another 2-3 weeks but just worried that the testers are a bad sign.
Thanks in advance for the help
