Double hopped IPA. Flat! Help!

[pureadventure]

I just brewed my second batch of an IPA with a DME at bottling added sugar, one week out I checked the progress... Beer is flat... The flavor is on the money but I gots very little bubbles, help!

It usually takes a solid 3 weeks to properly carbonate. Be patient.

Back away from the beer.

Leave it alone for another 2 weeks. Make sure it's in a dark spot, around 70 degrees. Carbonation will happen. 1 week is often too quick to detect anything - especially if you're storing the bottles in cooler temperatures, which would be easy to do with the weather lately...

Awesome, thank you! My upstairs hovers around 70 and input it in a hall closet. This chic is always learning. Thanks again!
