Thanks for the advice...besides the oxidation issue, re-racking them into other bottles would be a pain in the ass, so I think I'll go with the tabs. I'll let you know how I make out.
The tough thing at this point is: Out of my 8 remaining bottles, I'm not sure what ones will be flat, and what ones are fine. Probably better to be safe and drop a carbtab in each and check in a week as you suggest. Once I open each bottle, I'll know which ones were duds...so I'll mark the bottle and try one of the duds. Too bad I have to open some of the OK ones. Darn, I guess I'll have to drink some tonight!!
You don't think dropping a carbtab into one of the bottles that "worked" will cause a bottle bomb, do you? I think I should be fine, except for having some extra fizzy beer.
And "VA Brew".....I definitely don't think it was your mixing process....sounds like it was the same problem Wing Nut and I had. In both instances, everything I capped turned out great. My bottles are brand new too.....so if I hope Revvy's strategy works, and the CO2 isn't leaking out of the pre-drilled holes where the arms go.
Stay tuned.....I'll let you guys know how it goes.
