low carbonation

[philbrasil]

OK, so my beer is in the bottle for 4 weeks now, and I realized I had a problem that I didn´t add a good priming sugar amount.

So I am with this close to flat beer and I don´t know what to do with it. Should I just dump it all out????( I have 8 more bottles). Should I try to open it and add more priming sugar to each of this 8 bottles or what?

either drink it (it's only 8 bottles, make them second stringers... you know you are so drunk you don't care) or add more priming sugar... worst case if they go funky after adding sugar then you toss them... might as well try to fixem first. I personally would go with option A (second stringers)

i'm with bub. just cos it's low carbonation doesn't mean it doesn't taste good.

I have a batch that is low carbinated too. I just warn new drinkers to my beers about it and they're fine with it. The flavor would be different if it had more carb, but WTH. I know why mine was low, I was playing with the carb sugar to see what woud be too little sugar. Now I know.

Screw it, just drink it and learn. You'll be glad you did.

So blend it with another beer that IS carbonated in your pint glass. Black-and-tan, or maybe turn an IPA into a PA with koelsch.

Another option may be to get some prime tabs and toss them into the bottles. Youll have to recap all the bottles but its a small price to pay for better beer. Also as a sidenote a few months back i bottled a batch and after bottling realized I had completely forgot to add priming sugar. I figured rather than dump them i would just let them sit for awhile and check back on them in a few months. Two weeks ago I opened a bottle and it was fully carbed. My guess is i bottled a little prematurely and still had some residual sugar which was enough to allow it to carb but the morel of the story is never give up on a batch of beer
