Hello,
We haven't brewed in a while and finally decided to start back. We have been bottled now for July 15 and have no carbonation. We were attempting our first double IPA. I think it may be a bad recipe. (?) It called for 11 pounds of extract. And we used two White Labs yeast. There was only one bag of priming sugar, though. Maybe that just wasn't enough to get it going? Any ideas?
I thought it might be helpful if I was more specific:
1/2 lb Munich Malt
1 lb Crystal 20LMalt
soaked for 25 minutes
Added 1 gallon water returned to boil
3 LB Munich Extract
3LBExtra pale Extract
1LB Amber DME
5 LB Amber Extract
Brought to a boil
1 3/4 oz Summit (60 Minutes)
1/4 oz Summit
3/4 oz Centennial (15 Minutes)
1 oz Amarillo
1 oz Palisade
1/4 oz Centennial (5 Minutes)
2White Labs
California Ale 001
Brewed on June 23rd
Transferred on July 1
1 bag of priming sugar
I don't know the amount or weight
Bottled on July 15
Yesterday, still no carbonation. Where did we mess up? It tastes very malty and has no hop flavor.
