Have a dilemma that I can't figure out. Brewed a Lutra Faketoberfest that seemed to turn out well - not Hacker Pschorr level, but good, normal, drinkable. No off flavors, carbonation seemed fine after two weeks in the bottle.
Put six in the fridge, week later, they're flat. Checked the caps, none seem loose. The flavor is the same - nothing off, oxidized or infected-tasting about them; they're just flat. Bottles look ok, no visible defects. I (slightly) overpitched yeast when wort went into the fermenter, so I don't think that that's the issue, particularly since initially, the carbonation seemed fine on the first few that I refrigerated. Same volume of priming sugar that I use for all my 4 gal batches, 2.75 oz.
Any / all input would be appreciated.
