I bought a kit on sale from a company that I've seen people talk about here. Always has been positive. It was on sale. I bought a porter. It came with everything but the priming sugar. The brewing went well. Primary for 14 days. When I went to rack to bottling bucket, the stuff at the bottom (can't remember what its called) looked funny. Kind of slimy. I used a dry yeast, danstar I believe. I used a cup of brown sugar to prime. I've never used anything but corn sugar. Sat in the bottle for 10 days. I poured one and no carbonation. Let it go another week and just tried one and still not a bubble to be found. Is this batch a lost cause? Did I not use enough brown sugar to prime with? I've made 5 batches so far and this is my first failure. I suppose I'll chalk it up as lesson learned, assuming I actually learn something. On a brighter note SWMBO bought me a Fat Tire Clone kit.That's on deck for Saturday. Any input would be appreciated
