Red Ale Resurrection?

[OOC92]

We made an Irish red ale one year ago, the carbonization was stunted. I decided to pick up a few left-over bottles and put 5 primary tablets per half-liter bottle in one of the bottles. Immediately began to bubble, but alas how long should I wait until chilling and enjoying, or dare I say checking?

It has been 7 days since I added the tablets

Give it a go.

I forgot to mention that the carbonization was not only stunted, more like, it did not happen.

Also I used Brewer's Best Conditioning Tablets, they are completely dissolved.

If you don't want to spend the bucks on the carb tabs, just buy the sugar cubes for coffee and put one in each bottle. The don't fit into the neck of the bottle as well, but it works.

I just did it.

I opened the experimented bottle, after 8 days it was glorious, smooooth and with a great foamy head. But blasted it was not COLD. So stuck it in the fridge after it stopped overflowing slightly and waiting for nature to take its course.

That's an awesome idea. I'll keep that in-mind when I run out of carb tabs.
