A little over 2 weeks ago I bottled my batch of Hefe Weissen. It was 5 gal batch and I used corn sugar. 2/3 of the batch I bottled into 22oz bottles and the rest in 12oz. The 3 12oz bottles have had wonderful carbonation and a beautiful lasting head, and the 2 bigger bottles have been almost absolutely flat with good taste (for a flat beer) but little or no head. Should I wait longer and hope the problem corrects itself or can I safely open and reprime the bigger bottles.
 
Bigger bottles definitely take longer to carb up, when I bottle in 22 oz bottles, it takes a minimum of 3 weeks, sometimes more.
