Carbonation problem?

[Srekaneb]

9 days ago I bottled 5 gallons of a 8.1 abv IIPA using 3.75oz of dextrose and it still hasn't finished carbonating. Is this normal with higher abv beers?

Probably. What temp are they conditioning at?

Give one a shot after 14 days. What is your bottling process?

 

[Srekaneb]

I have them in Sierra Nevada 12 packs at room temp 68-72 degrees.

All my beers at that ABV take at least 4-6 weeks easily at 70-72F

Be patient

I added 3.75oz of priming sugar to about 2 cups of water after it's been boiled and cooled. Then I auto siphon my beer into a bottling bucket pouring the primer in slowly. I fill my bottles using a tipped bottle filler.
