Hey all!
I brewed this bad boy up and finished at11%abv.
I bottled about 2 months ago hoping to age over several years to see how it matures.
The brew tastes amazing but still hasn't carbonated. I think possibly this is due to a very long secondary at about 12 degrees Celsius which led to the yeast dying or completely falling out of suspension.
2 weeks ago I cracked open all of the bottles and added some wlp001 yeast that I was brewing with that day to see if that would eventually get carbonation going. Today still nothing although the beer is hazy now.
I guess my question is if the wlp001 will be able to do the job with a bit more patience or is 11% abv just killing the yeast off?
Any tips on how to get this carbonated would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again, frustrated and thirsty !
