My wee heavy spent 30+ days in the primary and 95 days in the secondary, it's been in the bottles for a couple of months now and in a word it's awesome... OG 1.100 FG 1.022

no, six random bottles had no carb at all, took two more and added sugar, waited another coupled of weeks, still no carb. but now after waiting for months ... SUCCESS!!!!

well as they say time heals all wounds..... I just now opened a bottle of this (previously) flat beer and was greeted by a big foamy head and lots of mouthfeel, not to mention a wonderfully delirious flavor along with most excellent lacing on the glass... i'm going to cry now....

turn the music up louder :ban:

what? no pictures? don't worry about the open carboy... it was venting plenty of co2 to keep any bad guys out...

i just bottled up my wee heavy a couple of week ago, it sat in the secondary for 95 days and i just had a bottle today, its carbing up nicely... but i also have a brown ale that refused to carb after only six weeks in the primary.... I did make sure that I siphoned a little yeast off of the...

i think i hate you!

It's a cool, but muggy day here in N.C. so I decided to "sneak" a taste of the wee heavy (after my brown ale not carbing up i had some concerns) and was ecstatic that it's got a good amount of carbonation w/o the addition of any additional yeast... and man the taste and aroma is out of this...

noice! i'll say it again: noice!

after 6 weeks in the primary I bottled my brown ale. it's about 6% abv and quite tasty, but flat, flat, flat. I've stirred the bottles and they are @ 72 degrees.... 5 weeks after bottling I dropped some muttons carb tabs into a grolsh bottle and waited three or four more weeks... nada...

Okay, chilled a third bottle,a 12 ouncer, and it just had a minimum pfst upon opening beer while very tasty is FLAT FLAT FLAT! I took the dregs of the bottle, which appeared to be a little cloudy with yeast, and added a pinch of corn sugar, covered it up and waited till the next morning. It...

when you cap them do you see the impression of the capper on the cap? its a circle or semi circle 1/4 of the way in from the edge.... if you don't see them then you may not be pressing down on the wings hard enough... I've use one and have not had any issues with losing carbonation....

I'm tempted to get some muttons carb tabs and try them on a few bottles... but if its a yeast problem then I'm stuck with flat beer -- don't worry, it's NOT going to get dumped....
