I know this question has been beat to death but I cant figure it out from reading the forums. I brew a beer and leave it fermenting in my primary for 3-4 weeks. Most I transfer in to the secondary for about 2-3 more weeks then I boil 3/4 cup corn sugar and add that to my bottling bucket and rack on top of it. I stir it a few times lightly and again about half way through bottling process, then cap as I go. They sit at about 70 degrees for 3 or more weeks, some are there for over a month or two. Almost all come out undercarbed. I have no clue why they wont carb. When i open them there is the tiniest hiss but taste flat. The only thing I can think of now is I broke one part of my bottle capper. They still go on fine and seem to seal and dont leak if I hold them upside down but everyonce in a while I will notice some crud on the bottle tops where they seal. So I thinking something is getting out but cant tell. People like the beer I make but always take one deink and say it good but flat. I just want them carbed, any suggestions?
