Just brewed a NEIPA with Conan and it has barely carbonated at all in 11 days. I'm talking about a small hiss at opening but almost no carbonation in the bottles. I shook and agitated the bottles but still no big improvements. I'm disappointed because the beer came out amazingly otherwise. I am conditioning very warm, at around 90 (only space I have), but 05 is usually carbed within a few days and carbed properly within 7-10, so I'm not sure if it's the Conan or just an anomaly. I added the correct amount of sugar for 2.3 volumes.
My concern is that I have another NEIPA ready for bottling tomorrow. I'm not sure whether to take a chance on it, or add some more yeast to it at bottling. What do you guys think? If I should add yeast, I have three options:
-Conan slurry. My problem with this is that there's likely already plenty of Conan in the IPA that didn't carbonate. I crashed it to 50 degrees for 48 hours but that shouldn't have dropped too much yeast out of it.
-t58. I could add 1-2g rehydrated to my bottling bucket. I've heard it's a good bottling yeast, but I'm a bit nervous about it throwing off unwelcome esters into the beer. Anyone have experience with this?
-05 or Nottingham, 1-2g rehydrated. I have both if these. I tend to dislike 05s taste in bottle conditioning, but it tends to get under control after a week in the fridge.
What do you all think? Thanks!
