I've got a bottling question. I brewed a blonde ale, and tried to bottle condition it. It has been in the bottles a few months now and still hasn't carbonated. I think that I know what I did wrong. When I went to bottle, I removed the carboy from my fermentation chamber, and sat it on the counter in my garage, to let it settle. Well, unexpected chores came up and it sat there for two days before I was able to bottle. I'm thinking that the yeast died. There's a small possibility that I forgot to add the priming sugar (I've done that before), but I really don't think this is what I did. I believe it's a yeast issue. So, how do I fix this? I'm thinking about making a yeast starter, uncapping, and adding yeast to each individual bottle with an eye dropper. Then drop a small amount of priming sugar into each bottle and re-cap. How does this plan sound to you? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
