I made a sweet stout about a 5 weeks ago. Bottled 2 weeks ago. Put a bottle in the fridge n tried it n it was pretty good, but it was pretty flat. Almost no head and lil to no lacing. I don't remember how much sugar I added, but was pretty conservative since it was a stout n was afraid of over carbonation for it's style. I don't think I added enough priming sugar when I bottled. Can I shake the bottles up a bit to resuspend the yeast? Or open them up n add a lil more sugar to each bottle? That would be a PITA. But if that's what I gotta do to get a decent brew I don't mind. Any thoughts from the veterans n pros?
TIA
