Tried for first time put two tabs in 750ml bottle waited two weeks and I see some carb on side of glass and taste just a small amount but ZERO head on beer I only tried this cause I keg beer and thought this would be easy any one ever tried 2 1/2 or 3 tabs?

2 should be plenty. I would imagine 2 weeks wasn't long enough. also bigger bottles usually take longer to carb. wait another couple weeks and make sure it's sitting at 70F

Fermented for two weeks then bottled a fee 22ounces sat them in dark for seven days then transferred to fridge seven days and that was my outcome

Bottle carbing typically works best around room temperature, or whatever the primary fermentation temperature of your particular yeast strain would be. Putting your bottles in a refrigerator after a week could cause the yeast to flock out of suspension (to a degree, and depending on the strain/temp), and slow down bottle carbing. I'd at least pull them from the fridge and put them someplace dark for 2ish weeks, then test a bottle, and at MOST I'd agitate the bottle if you can see sediment on the bottom after their cold treatment, then wait 2 weeks at room temp.

Hope it meets with your satisfaction.

7 days isn't long enough for carbing. You need to leave them for at least 2 weeks at room temperature (closest to 70F you can get). I would even leave it for a month on a bigger bottle

Yeah I know what you mean, lol. Now I keg and if I really want to age something then I'll just bottle from the keg. More consistency with carbing and such.

Also,the high end of a yeasts' ferment temp range doesn't matter when the beer is bottled. But the low end temp does. So you have to carb & condition @ 70F or a lil better to carb properly in the usual 3-4 weeks. 4 weeks+ for those bigger bottles. Then a week fridge time to carb up decent & let any chill haze form & settle.
