I brewed an Imperial Pale Ale AG OG 1.072 TG 1.015. Being the mad scientist that I am I primed with 8 OZ of Demerara sugar.
After 11 days I have virtually no carbonation. I now realize that I screwed up and should have stuck to the normal corn sugar priming.
More Data:
Primary 7 days
Secondary 7 days
Fermented at 75 Deg F
Bottles at 76-77 Deg F for 11 days.
No head and little CO2 in bottles
Beer in bottle has no haze and no trub in the bottom.
The beer is really excellent other than the fact that I prefer mine carbonated so I have resolved to repriming and recapping. I am enlisting opinions as the best route.
A. Reprime with yeast starter, it is possible the yeast was just petered out.
B. Reprime with corn sugar, My LHBS said that yeast does not like cane sugar for bottle conditioning.
C. Sit on the beer for another couple of weeks and do nothing.
Anyone experience this or have an opinion?
