So I brewed a Guiness clone a couple weeks ago and then came time for bottling. I don't have a kegging system so bottles are my only option. For my priming sugar I used regular white sugar. I used a nomograph to determine the amount f sugar to use. For a 2.0 carbonation at 68 degree cellar temp it said to use 2.8oz of sugar by weight. So I did. In all of this it did not say how long the carbonation process will take. Out of curiosity I opened one after three days. Zero carb, not really surprised. But I've been told carbonating a stout an take one week it could take three...which is it? When can I pop the top and enjoy my stout. PS the beer I opened still tasted good, just flat. Thoughts?
