I've got a batch of beers that did not carbonate in the bottle. When I measured the original Gravity and the gravity going into the bottles, it was lower. Should I chuck the batch or is it fixable?
 
Okayyyy. What was sg? What was fg? How long was it fermenting? How long was it bottled? What temp was it bottled? What and how much did you use to prime it? We need more info.

Im gonna take a long shot in the dark and say let it sit in bottles for 2 more weeks amd try it.
 
How many gallons did you make? Typically you should use 1 ounce per gallon.
How long have they been sitting? 3 weeks?
At what temperature have they been conditioning?
 
I must have had a couple bad caps. Looks like the rest of the batch is well carbonated after 2 weeks.
 
After you cap, try to give them a twist with you hand to make sure they are not loose and give a good seal.
