I'm guessing it's the yeast then. I added the enzyme before.

Good thanks for the reply. Maybe all is not lost. Guess it's time to start the next batch

Just finished my first batch of brew ever. I did Upstake Mike's Caramel recipe. The bottles have been done for 4 days and it seemed like my test bottle felt carbonated correctly so I threw them in the fridge to cold crash (only made 2 gallons). But in looking at the bottles most of them all...
