I bottled an all wheat beer... today is the 10th day. The first 7 days their storage were at 75-76F. The remainder at 70F. I decided to open a test bottle... and while there is a fizz at opening and a head with an aggressive pour... it is decidedly a bit flat. I expected more carbonation at this point. Is this common... little more time needed for carbonation?

How much sugar did you add for what size batch?
Most likely the beer needs a few more days to fully carb up but it's possible it is a little undercarbonated. We can rule out insufficient priming by knowing how much sugar you added. If enough sugar was added then it just needs a little more time.

Well I do not have an answer for that as I did not mix up the primer. I participated in the brewing and bottled it.. but i did not do all the steps myself... or was shown what was done there. So yea... that being the case... I'm hoping it just needs more time and not insufficient priming.
