I brewed an IPA on 6-8-14 and bottled after three weeks.Its been about 5 weeks in the bottles and there is not even one single bubble.Absolutely flat.It was a weird fermantation kind of like a lava lamp coming from the bottom of the carboy two weeks in.Fermented at 69 in temp controled freezer.Could something have killed the yeast? The only change in my routine was a s/s air stone,aquarium pump with hepa filter.Any advice would be great, but this one tasted like a dumper when I bottled it.
What went wrong IPA?

Hard to kill the yeast unless you raise the beer temp over 120°. Sounds like you had a good fermentation. What was the OG and FG? High gravity beers can take longer to carbonate.
Are you sure you used a priming solution with a sugar when you bottled? What temp are the bottles at for conditioning? Temperatures that are two low can increase the amount of time for carbonation.
Have you opened more than one bottle to check for carbonation?
The taste at bottling for an IPA will not be great. The conditioning time will change the appearance and flavors quite a bit.

Need more information. Recipe, mash temps, how you bottled.
