Bottle condition appears to have failed

[meryvn]

My latest bottle conditioning appears to have failed, I brewed a 10% imperial stout and cold crashed for a couple of days after two weeks fermentation. I bottled two weeks ago and have tried a couple of bottles this week and they have no carbonation, not even a slight hiss when opening. They have been kept at a pretty constant 22C in my fermentation fridge.

I'm debating opening all the bottles and rebottling with some fresh yeast (us05) and more priming sugar (I only used about 50g in about 15l when initially bottled). Has anyone else had any success in doing something similar?

Just leave em. Beer eventually will carb up even if you dont put any priming sugar in a bottle. Seeing as you've made a 10% imperial stout you'll need to leave them for a few months to condition anyway. So by that time they'll have carbed up

What was your fermentation temperature?

Sounds good advice to me.
Put them in a dark corner somewhere and forget about them until Christmas.

They'll get there, eventually. The yeast will be quite worn out after fermenting that beast. A lot of people add a bit of neutral yeast when bottling such big beers to help out. Just leave them in a dark place at room temperature and they'll get there. Plus they'll taste even better the longer you leave them!

Fermented at about 18-19C then had a couple of days at 22C and a cold crash at 4C.

I'll have to look into somewhere to stash them for the next few months to see how they turn out, though i suspect it will have to be in the garage which will be subject to temperature swings and (being in aberdeen) not very high ambient temperatures.

Annoying thing is that the bottles I have opened have been amazing tasting but just missing some carbonation!

IS's don't have a big head anyway.

I did my ris-key business with about 150g sugar for 20-21lts at 10% plus.

started the brew on the 20/03/2016

bloody lush now! :grin:
