Bottled an Imperial IP on 11/29/14. Ended up with an ABV of 9.1%. Tasted fantastic at bottling time (albeit flat and warm...to be expected). Been checking them intermittently for conditioning and as recently as last week still just barely carbonated. Zero to no head (even when poured aggressively into glass) and still quite flat. Thinking I have a problem here I opted to try the Prime Dose capsules to remedy my issue. In reading the issues folks had with the capsules not dissolving I decided to carefully separate the capsules and pour the contents into each bottle. My first bottle was a 16 oz grolsch style bottle. Added the contents of three capsules...no issues. Opened the next bottle (same style as first) and added the contents of one capsule...immediately the beer began to bubble and flow out of the bottle like a volcano. I immediately re-capped it before I lost any measurable amount of beer. I got similar results as this latter experience with a 22 oz bottle and a standard 12 oz bottle (both were standard capped bottles and added contents of only one capsule in each). Stopped at that point because seems to me the bottles may in fact be conditioned. Took one bottle out and placed it in fridge to check later and letting the rest sit for a couple weeks to check again. Any feedback?
