Been brewing for over a year - all extract kits. I know the rule of thumb of 3 weeks @ 70. I've also had plenty of batches that were carbed at 2 or less. This NB Extra Pale Ale kit though has me baffled. I tried one on Friday and it was fine, carbonation wise. However, the two I've had since then were flat as a board. I always give my priming sugar (5 oz.) a gentle swirl in the bottling bucket when I'm done to try to evenly distribute the solution to the beer. Is this just an odd case of this individual batch - for some unknown reason - not being carbonated enough yet? I'm planning on just waiting another week and see if the next one is like the Friday brew, but it's just odd that one was fine, but the other two were not. Do bottles eventually lose the ability to cap properly or something? Just odd this batch - at least batch no. 20.
