Bottle to Keg ?

[joeyuwp]

Bottled a heavy porter 3 weeks ago and still little to no carbonation. I'm going to give it more time, but say in a month or so there is still no carbonation, can I empty the bottles into a keg and go that route to save the batch?

Give it time, heavies take more time to carb. What temp you storing it at?

In the basement. Probably around 60-65 degrees

It would be better if you could get it closer to 70F for the first 4-6 weeks and then cellar it at 60-65 for aging after that. Maybe you could move it to a closet up in the house..

Thanks for the tips. Moved to upstairs closet where it's about 66 now. Should get warmer if it ever gets above 60 outside.
