Hi All,
i have made up a cherry cheeky vimto but am not getting any fizz in the bottles at all and no sign of anything happening.
It was in the demijohn for about three weeks bubbling away nicely SG 1046 and FG .995.
I racked it into a clean demijohn then siphoned into 500ml plastic bottles and added a heaped teaspoon of sugar to each bottle, gave each one a good shake then waited for the magic to happen. Unfortunately nothing has happened, not even a small phffft when i cracked a bottle earlier.
The ginger beer i bottled on the same day are all rock hard by now so i know the bottles were clean.
Would it be worth adding a pinch of yeast and some nutrient to each bottle to try and get them to carbonate?
