Hey everyone,
Over a month ago I brewed a coffee stout. Right now I do not have a bottling bucket so I individually primed each bottle. I put 3/4 teaspoon of sugar in each bottle, capped them tightly, shook them up real well and stored them in a dark place for 2 weeks. The temperature was a consistent 72 degrees for the 2 weeks.
I opened up my first bottle yesterday after the 2 weeks and there was little to no carbonation.
Is there anything I can do to up the carbonation?
I read on the forum that I could shake them once a day for a week and then let them settle again and that might help.
Should I uncap them and add more sugar? Or simply wait another few weeks? Or do the shaking daily process?
Few notes about the beer
2 gallon batch size
OG- 1.065
FG- 1.016
3/4 teaspoon cane sugar per bottle.
Thanks for any help you can provide.
