Carb question

[mradicsh]

I have done a number of 1 gallon and 5 gallon batches and have never had an issue with carbonation until recently. I have an IPA that I bottled a month ago and have tested a few bottles at the 2 and 3 week mark. I know not to expect them to be ready until at least 3 weeks, but expected some carb and got completely flat beer in both bottles.

Could it be that I did something as simple as forgetting my carb drops if is it still dead flat, not even a hint of carb after 1 month? Can I pop all the remaining bottles and put drops in at this point?

What temp do you store them at?
Maybe try and give them a little tip over a couple of times and then try one after a few days.

We keep the upstairs of the house at 70, so they have been sitting at that temp for a month. I gave them a tip over today and was going to give them another few weeks.

What was the ABV of the IPA? If it was too high it could have killed the yeast..

Only 6.5%.
