I had twenty five perfectly carbonated, beautifully bubbly and clear lager.
Went to share one of my last five bottles with a friend and it was flat. Opened another and that was flat too.
Fortunately I had some other home brew (draught) to share so we had that and it was fine.
I checked the remaining three bottles of lager this morning and they are all soft to squeeze (plastic bottles).
The beer is a Coopers Lager from a can. In primary for two weeks. In bottles for 27 days. Primed with two Coopers priming tabs per bottle (750ml).
The bottles are brand new and never used before... as are the caps.
When I examined the bottles this morning I noticed two of the three caps have separated from the ring thingy that gets left behind when you unscrew a new cap... if that makes sense. The other one is fine. But the bottle is still soft.
Any help? I just have no idea what happened. It's like it was perfectly carbonated then went flat.
Edit: It is summer here so the bottle conditioning was done at very warm temps.
