Hi Guys,
Two weeks ago I bottled a partial pilsener. I used the SAFLAGER W34/70 yeast. It fermented for about two weeks at 12 degress celcius. I then racked to secondary for about 3 weeks. I primed the bottles with some LDME. I have kept the bottles in kitchen cupboard.
After opening one last night to check how they were coming along I was confused to find that there was no carbonation present at all. Could the yeast have become inactive? This is the first time that I have used a secondary fermentation so is it possible for there to be not enough yeast left for the beers to carbonate?
Thanks,
Jesse
