Okay so I've basically given up on this IPA to carbonate for me. Originally it didn't carbonate. So I tried adding a sugar tablet into each bottle, which means I had to open up every Grolsh bottle and then close it again. Thought I had nothing to loose at that point but still there is no carbonation after 3 weeks after that.
I just want to see people's thoughts on why? I'm not a rookie at this, I made 9 other brews throughout the summer and they all turned out awesome.
Here's the recipe, which on a side note tastes AMAZING, but very difficult to drink without the carbonation.
Citrus IPA
5gal batch, OG 1.066, FG 1.015, ABV 6.63%, IBU 68.9, Color 10.7 SRM
.3kg - Aromatic Malt
.2kg - Cara Pils/Dextrin
4.5kg - Pale Liquid Extract
28.3g - Columbus (60min)
28.3g - Magnum (60min)
14.2g - Simcoe (45min)
7.1g - Simcoe (30min)
28.3g - Amarillo Gold (20min)
21.3g - Falconer's Flight (10min)
.25tsp - Irish Moss (10min)
28.3g - Falconer's Flight (1min)
1pkg - Safale American US-05 yeast
I did a bulk carbonation as usual, using corn sugar, and bottled in the glass Grolsh bottles.
Any thoughts??? I would like to try and make it again but want to make sure it was just a fluke it didn't carbonate rather than a recipe error on my part.
Thanks!
