Flat Growlers

[Chefflahertycec]

I brewed a Dry Irish stout bout 6 weeks ago and did 14 - 22oz bottles,2 - 6 packs and 2 growlers. Been swilling it for about 2 weeks now and its a solid brew. Problem I have is that the 2 growlers were flat as water. I'm guessing this noob did not tighten the caps enough. I bottled the flat brew into 22's with priming tablets with hopes that it will still carbonate. Any thoughts? How long is too long to try and save a flat brew?


I embrace the learning curve of the craft.....

Well for one, growlers aren't designed to hold the pressure that will develop from naturally carbonating your beer. Consider it a small blessing in disguise. That said, another couple weeks in the bombers and keep them separate as they may have a weird flavor due to the oxygen in the beer.
