Still new to breweing. Have successfully brewed and bottle two batchs I have been very happy with. Tried a Steam Beer recently and am getting very little carbonation in bottle. It's been 3 weeks since I bottled. Had the beer in Primary 1 week and secondary 3 weeks. Left in secondary a bit longer than I wanted but did not have a chance to bottle after 3 weeks and have read that it shouldn't be a problem. Beer was very very clear going into botteling bucket.
When I look at the beer in the bottles I am seeing almost no sediment. I'm wondering if the yeast didn't settle out too much and after being very carful not to disturb the yeast when racking that I do not have enought yeast left over in the bottle to carbonate.
Am considering taking cracking 6 bottles open, adding a bit of yeast, and waiting a bit longer. I am a bit confused. The beer looked and tasted great just prior to bottling and I'm wondering if I don't have enought yeast in the bottles to carbonate?
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thanks! Scott
