Hey guys, brewed an awesome beer a few months ago (double IPA, 10.5% ABV, partial mash), and it was hands out my best beer I created. However, it's been over 2 months since bottling (bottled 7/22), and it hasn't carbed up yet.
I put the bottles in a hotter room (around 76*), laid the bottles on their sides and rotated every other day to keep the yeast in suspension,and patently waited for over 2 months.
However, it's still the same as what it was after the 3rd or so week: gives a small pffft when you pop the top, but no carbonation whatsoever, no foam or anything.
A little background on the beer: 1.096 og, 1.016 fg, used 4.6oz priming sugar (expecting to compensate slightly for the high ABV and possibly lethargic yeasties )
Is there anything I can do now to get it carbed? It was an expensive recipe (over 1/2 a pound of hops per case), and even uncarbed it still beats a lot of commercial imperial IPA's, but I really wanted to enjoy it carbed, as well as possibly submit it into a few local competitions. Is there anyway to do that, or will I have to drink the rest of these flat?
