Ok... Quick Carbonation Question

[vikingbrewer70]

I'm currently bottle carbing a Cream Ale its been 1 week in the bottle @ 62-66F. i tried one today its low carbed and just a small amount of head (twss). I know it should be low to medium carb and head, but this doesnt seem quite right.
My Question is..... am I conditioning it too cold? Is there perhaps another reason that maybe I've missed?
Any help appreciated

I USED 5 oz. corn sugar to carb up

I should have used some crystal in the recipe but forgot.

Yep, it's a bit too cool to carb quickly. Keep it at 70 degrees or so, and in a week or two it will be carbed up.

Sometimes it takes longer than a week to fully condition. You could also move it to a slightly warmer spot, it might help it go faster. I've never used that particular yeast for a cream ale so I can't speak to it's habits.

I agree that it's too cold.

I used to carb in the basement of my old house and it was about 64-66 down there all the time. It would take over a month for it to carb and condition right. Once i moved it all upstairs to where it was 70-72 it took 2-3 weeks depending on what it was.

I moved it upstairs to my kitchen which is 66 to 68
