So long story short I have a batch of flat DIPA, I have always bottle conditioned my beer. In the two weeks my beer conditioned in the bottle it got no carbonation, zero, zilch, nada! I have a good buddy that just moved in a couple doors down and I can keg my beer and use his kegorater. I would think simply pouring the beers into a sanitized keg, being careful not to oxygenate would be best course of action. Has anyone done this? thoughts from other brewers would be appreciated.
You can't pour them without oxygenating. So before I tried a measure that drastic, I'd first wait another couple weeks, possibly with the bottles at warmer temps (what's the temp now?), and see. If that fails, I'd be tempted to open each bottle and add a tiny amount of dry yeast (one that's not more attenuative than your original yeast strain. I'm assuming you didn't forget to add priming sugar and that you evenly distributed it throughout the beer .
all the basics were covered, the bottles are sitting at 69F where my bottles always sit. I considered getting some yeast and adding to each bottle and re-capping but that is an unattractive option with a 10 gallon batch. I was hoping going to kegs would be the easiest and best, but doubted myself thus the thread......
