Beers not turned out fizzy

[Chris in Lancs]

Hi all.

To date I have only brewed ciders and wine yet did a Coopers Canadian Blonde the other week with a honey/sugar mixture. I bottled it in to 1ltr bottles (about 800ml in each) and added two Coopers carbonation drops to each bottle (instructions reckon 2 per 750ml) and after a week and a half have opened one bottle to find it has no fizz whatsoever. I put a tea spoon of sugar in a few days ago and left it and it seems to have gone a bit fizzy.

My question is can I still rescue the other bottles by putting sugar in at this late state to make it fizzy?

Also, is there any reason why the fermentation drops haven't worked?

Cheers
Chris

no reason why you cant open the rest and add sugar then leave for a week or so
