Flat Beer

[chris.taylor.98]

Give a full month out of the fridge before making any adjustments on the carbonation front. Sometimes the yeast just needs a bit more time.

Also CM2 a note on recarbonating, I have never been able to do it by adding more dry sugar or carbonation drops, as even though it seems there is "no" carbonation, if there is even a little bit you end up with the sugar recacting with the CO2 and an unholy mess. (Ever see the coke and mentos episode of Mythbusters)

You need to get the sugar into a liquid solution (carefully measured out) and add that to be sure.

In regards to the yeast, it is not the alcohol that really finishes the yeast off, but the amount of fermentable sugars in solution (osmotic pressure). Once fermentation is complete you can use any yeast for carbonation, even the existing yeast should be able to carbonate it, but it will take longer.
