Hello all,
Its been about four weeks since I bottled, and my beer is still very flat. There's a slight pop when you open up the bottle, but when poured there's no head and the beer tastes a bit sweet. I am wondering if it is possible to recarbonate the beer in any way. I was thinking about emptying all the bottles back into the bottling bucket, pitching a small amount of yeast and then re-bottling, or maybe added more priming sugar and then rebottling, but I don't want any bottle-bombs on my hands. I also don't want to change the flavor too much, since it tastes really good as is (minus the sweetness).
Are carbonation tablets my best shot? Has anyone reversed this curse in the past? Any links / other threads I may have missed?
Thanks everyone!
