Morning homebrewers!
I've had my first (EVER) homebrew in a keg for a few weeks now and carbonation seems minimal to non-existent. I'm convinced that I didn't lubricate properly and the gas leaked out. So, I've decided I want to bottle the rest of it so the oxygen doesn't go and ruin the 3 gallons I have left in there.
Is it possible for me to reprime the beer with carbonation drops when bottling? Will the yeasties in there be happy enough waking up for a bit and having a quick feed so I can finally have a reasonably fizzy beer? I have already tried cold crashing it so my buddies could drink it last weekend, so I'm worried there won't be anything left to do the job.
Cheers for your help!
