I recently brewed an Abita Amber clone and it is flat after bottling. I brewed this recipe before and it was good. This time I changed a few things just for the sake of experimenting. I used store bought Spring Water instead of tap water. I used Wyeast 2565 Smack Pack instead of Safale K-97 dry yeast. I racked to secondary fermenter for one week this time so it would clear better. I have a fermenting fridge now and I maintained 65 degrees throughout the fermenting. I used the same bottling sugar as the last batch and let it stay in the fermenting fridge for two weeks after bottling. OG = 1.052, FG = 1.015. I'm wondering if 65 degrees is too cool for the carbonating phase? I raised the fridge temp to 70 two days ago. Any ideas or suggestions?
