Flat beer. Bottled beer won't carbonate?
I brewed an Irish Stout a few of months ago. It has been in bottle for over a month now and no carbonation has developed. I was pretty slow with getting this from secondary to bottle and I am fairly certain that fermentation was absolutely complete, no yeast edible sugars left and possibly no live yeast left. I definitely added too little priming sugar when I bottled, my other beers have been overly foamy out of the bottle, so I cut back.
The beer is quite tasty, but flat. Is there a product I can use (tabs maybe?) that I can add to the bottles and then re-cap?


The brew store my husband goes to has a contraption you can use that pumps air into the bottle (I think) and will lightly carbonate a beer. It’s really just for keeping beer and soda under pressure so it doesn’t go flat after you open it, but the guy who owns the store said you can use it for carbonation. However, you’d have to do that right before you drink it, because it doesn’t last very long.

likely you waited too long and they yeast was all dead, which means adding the priming sugar won’t help
your best bet if you want to get it to go again, since that priming sugar is still there, is to activate a packet of yeast, and put a little in each bottle.

other than that, you could inject CO2 into the beers… some home brewers, most major beer companies do this, but it requires CO2 tanks and equipment you likely don’t have.

You could use this as an excuse to start kegging….

If that’s not an option, check your gravity. If your gravity is higher than when you bottled, then the yeast died, leaving the unfermented sugar behind. If the gravity is lower, than you need to buy a new capper, as the last batch failed to seal properly.

If it’s the first scenario and you *really* want to keep the brew, you can re-innoculate and re-bottle. First, get a smack pack of the yeast you were using. Spank it and let it swell. Then sanitize everything, even the outside of the old bottles. Set-up your bottling stuff completely. Next, open all the bottles and pour them slowly into your bottling bucket. Add the yeast. Re-bottle. Store upright in a warm (72F) dark place for a couple of weeks before tasting.

I would not re-add sugar under any circumstances. I’ve done this a total of once and am lucky that I’m only cleaning beer off the walls of my cellar. Bottle bombs are no fun.

It is not carbonating because there is no yeast to carbonate with. You either let it starve to death or let it all autolysis.

You could pour one bottle and pitch some more yeast in it with some sugar. Let that sit for about 24 hours. Then pour the rest of the bottles into a bucket adding that first bottle last with some more sugar. Let it sit for a few hours, then bottle again.

Or you could put it into a keg, set it to about 25psi and let it sit at 60F for about 24 hours.

Or you can test it with about a tsp of sugar and see if it starts back up. In which case you open every bottle add more sugar and then cap it again.
