I bottle carbonated my last beer by priming with corn sugar, 1/3 cup for a 3 gallon batch. It didn't carbonate very well !
I'm kind of anal about fining my beers. I rack from primary to secondary and fine with a bentonite slurry and then refridgerate it. It really clears up the beer. They drop a lot of sediment, even if they looked fairly clear before.
I am wondering if it clears it up the beer too much, such that there isn't any yeast left to ferment the priming sugar ?
Why else wouldn't my beer carbonate ?
