This is only my second brew and I was trying a kit DIPA from Brewers Best. I had no issues that I could see during the brew, it tasted awesome before I bottled it, abet it was flat as you would expect.
Bottling went fine as far as I could tell, but 14 days after sealing the caps I opened one this evening and it had a decent one finger head, but tasted flat. It had all the flavors, just flat. I tried another and got the same results. A third just opened was the same.

Am I jumping the gun and opening too soon?
Did something happen that I am missing?:confused:
Should I just enjoy the flat DIPA? (It does taste pretty good for being flat:drunk:)

Any help or suggestions are much appreciated!!!


Any suggestions for my next brew would also be appreciated!!
:mug:
 
Higher gravity brews can take longer to carb up. What temp were they? 2 weeks is pretty soon for good carbonation on a bigger brew. Give it another couple of weeks, then throw one in the fridge for a couple of days and report back.
