Did i do something wrong here (Dark Porter)

[rgarcia78147]

Please someone tell me that i do not have a problem here. I brewed 5.25 gals of porter a few weeks ago. 2 weeks in primary ferm, 1 week in secondary carboy, bottled with 5 oz of priming sugar (dextrose) has been conditioning for 8 days bottled on Presidents Day to be precise. The beer is totally flat zero fizz, Just by talking to my wife i just realizied it may still be too early. I have brewed 5 mini-mashes and 4 all-grain brews and all have had carbonation by this point, usally after 8 days i try one because i cant take it anymore and try one. Will it be ok after 14 or 21 days?

A good way to find out would be to open one after 14 or 21 days.

3 weeks, at 70F BARE MINIMUM before you can begin to gauge carbonation.

You should be fine. Don't know what your prior brews were like, but keep in mind that if the porter was a higher gravity, it will usually take longer to carb.

*snowveil waits for revvy to come in saying that his belgian strong ale took months to carbonate


You're FINE. Patience young grasshopper!
