Hi,
I bottled pale ale over two weeks ago now maybe three weeks ago and I've opened a couple of these and they have next to no carbonation. They have a little hiss when popping the cap but thats about it. I've made around 8 batches so far and all have been nicely carbed after two weeks, I batch prime with table sugar aiming for a higher carb of 2.7 to please the wife's need for highly carbed beers. I always leave at room temp, I even utilised my ferm chamber on this batch for a week while it was free to keep at 20c.
It's the same yeast I've used for all my batches, US-05, the only thing to note about the brewday is I missed my OG by 8 points - coming in at 1.040 (est 1.048), fermented down to 1.007 so made up a little alcohol with a high attenuation - so ending up just over 4%.
Although it's flat the beer tastes great, probably the cleanest I've made so far. Do I just keep it sitting for a few weeks and hope for the best or at this point is there very little chance of carbonation as I should just drink it.
