HELP -- No yeast cake at the bottom of bottles

[Scarthingmoor]

Just cracked a red that has been in the bottle for the last 14 days.

To my dismay...there is essentially zero carbonation in the bottle, and there is no yeast cake at the bottom. It reached a presentable final gravity. Anyone had this problem before? Is it possible that my yeast died in the secondary? Too young in the bottle?

HELP!!

How much sugar did you add when you bottled?

How much sugar did you add when you bottled?

1 tsp per 660 ml bottle. (This amount has worked well in the past).

This

and you put the bottles in the fridge for at least a couple days, right?

In the fridge for only about 24 hours. (Still should have signs of carbonation when the bottle is cracked though I thought)

Other than flat do they taste sweet or not? That is, maybe they sat in too cool an environment and did not condition?

Not really sweet. Maybe just a little. Definitely not overly sweet. Really just tastes like it would have if I drank it straight out of the secondary. There was definitely a substantial yeast cake at the bottom of the secondary after bottling.
