I have a DIPA (10.5% ABV) that was in the primary for 4 weeks. It's been in the bottle now with 6 oz priming sugar for over 4 weeks at room temp and still no carbonation. There's slight pff when you open the bottle, but none in the liquid.
I think the yeast was just done for between the high alcohol and the long ferment. Anyone else see similar issues?
I'm trying to think of how to remedy the situation and I would like to try uncapping, adding some yeast and recapping. Has anyone done this with success?
Should I just add drops from a vial, or do a small starter first, whats' the best method with the highest likihood of success. This batch was expensive and difficult to brew so I would hate to waste it.
Thanks in advance.
