Hi guys!
4 weeks ago I bottled a Blonde Ale that i bought at Austin Homebrew. The brew day went along fine and I did't have any problems. I put it in primary and after 2 weeks transfered it to secondary.
For one reason or another, the brew sat in secondary for 5 weeks when i finally had the time to bottle using the priming sugar provided with the kit. I've opened a bottle every week since then, the last one being this past weekend, and it just doesn't have any carbonation (there's a psssts when i open it but not enough to even form any foam). The brew is very tasty and I would really be sad if I had to throw it away.
What can I do?
- Just wait?
- Open all the bottles, empty them in the bottling bucket put some yeast and rebottle (it seems like a lot of trouble but I'm willing to do it to save it!)?
- Open each bottle and put a pinch of yeast in each and recap?
- Go out, buy a box of tissues to wipe my tears when I'm flushing it down the sink?
Thanks in advance for yout help!
