So my first unevenly carbonated batch was annoying. I had 3 small 12 oz bottle bombs, a few super fizzy 22s and like 24 12oz bottles that just didn't carbonate at all even after 4 weeks.
My batch after that carbonated perfectly.
Now I have an imperial stout bottled, and an oatmeal stout bottled and so far it seems i have 4 cases of uncarbonated beer. Its been two weeks and almost always after a week I have heavily carbonated green tasting beer. So far all bottles only give the faintest hiss on opening and are not carbonated at all.
I Have 4 more batches brewing and don't want to bottle anymore beer untill i get this figured out.
I've tried adding 1 teaspoon of corn sugar to each unfizzed bottle and recapping it. I am interested to see what happens with these.
My first batch i just figured i screwed up the corn sugar addition, because I added after racking and didn't stir. given that i had a few super carbed bottles and some not carbed at all i figured this was it...but now i have found any carbonated bottles and i am a little aggrivated.
I can only think that the bottler isn't working correctly, or somehow the corn sugar for priming is screwing up?
temperature is fine, and everything else seems fine.
Maybe i really need to wait 4+ weeks? I don't understand why some of mine are super carbed and ready to go in 4 days though while I am having problems now after 2-3 weeks now.
