I bottled my Austin Homebrew Nut Brown two weeks ago.
When bottling, I added NOT EVEN a 1/4 ounce of hazelnut extract w/ my priming sugar. (side note: I posted a question if I should have added it before I did and no one provided any hints or tips...which, now that I think about it, pretty much sucks.)
I hit OG and FG spot on that came with the directions. The beer is very clear (not completely) and there is no yeast on the bottom of each bottle (I think I siphon well).
At 1 week in, I opened a bottle to test. Weakest "pffst" I've ever heard from a bottle. Week 2 was just as sad but even harder to hear because it is completely demoralizing to think I have 47 bottles of beer that are flat.
I just ordered some Mutton carb tabs and plan to open each bottle, add 1 or 2 tabs, and recap quickly....
Unless someone else has a good idea. I don't have a keg, so that's out of the question.
Please and thank you for the advice......
