My fourth biab is an American Steam Beer and after 4 days in the bottle is showing no signs of life. I know that's early but my last three had a decent amount of carbonation after 4-5 days. The only difference is I dry hopped the first 3 but not this one.
Now I know this is probably very unlikely but is there in some way a correlation between dry hopping and carbonation?
Does the extra hops some how cause the yeast to munch on the sugars quicker or something?
Failing that I can't see any other reason why this ASB hasn't started showing some signs of life by now.
I was hoping it might be ready to at least sample by boxing day.
