I need emergency help with a flat bottled porter. I made it for a friend of mine who's business just burnt down. Here is the recipe I used, it is for 10 gallons.
12 lbs dark liquid extract
1 lb Carapils
1 lb Black malt specialty grains
2 oz. Willamette bittering hops
2 oz. Fuggle pellet aroma hops
1 lb lactose
Irish Moss
Gelatin finnings when transferring to secondary
Primary was at 68 degrees for 1 week
Secondary was at 68 for 2 weeks
I cold crashed it at 50 for three days before bottling
I primed with 7.5 ounces of corn sugar for a carbonation volume of 2.2 (Beer Smith)
After bottling I let them sit, brown bottles in a box, for 2 weeks at 75 degrees.
Problem, almost zero carbonation! I have not had this problem before.
So what can I do? I have plenty of corn sugar, bottle caps, and S-04.
Thanks, I want to get this to my friend as soon as possible, he needs some cheering up.
