Hey all,
My last batch was a Sam Adams Old Ale clone. It came out just under 12%. It's been bottled for about 2 months now and it's still not carbed. I have tried bottles randomly so I don't think it was my priming sugar mix. I think at this point the alcohol level might have killed off the yeast.
I decided to bottle this batch instead of keg because I planned to go through it at a much slower pace. My question is, would it be a problem if I opened all the bottles, dumped them into a cornie, and forced carbed the brew?
I'm guessing the high alcohol content would prevent any type of contamination.
The brew is coming along nice just no bubbles.
Opinions appreciated.
