I am having the same issue with long carb times. I made an arrogant bastard clone about 8 weeks ago and its only about 50% carbed, and probably around 7% ABV. A few weeks ago I started to agitate the bottles once a week, and I layed them on their sides thinking if the caps were loose, they would leak. Am I correct on my thinking?
yes, they would leak if that was the issue.
