flat lager

[steve1973]

hi all only my second post have done a lager and primed the bottles before putting the brew in them.
Left them for 2 weeks and tryed one last night and found it still flat.
bottles used were 2litres with 2 tea spoons of sugar in each.

is there any way to save the drink ???

Did the bottles firm up at all?
Did you leave the bottles for a week or so at fermentation (room) temp?
Have you subsequently left them somewhere cold to help the CO2 into solution?

1/2 tsp per pint should give you some fizz, maybe not as much as you would expect for a lager mind...

I use 1 tsp per 500ml for lagers and that gets them proper fizzy!

How are they sealed?

It will be fine if you bring it to room temperature leave it for a week then leave in a cool place like Calum says.
