The lack of carbonation could possibly be from chilling the beer too cold before you poured it. Click to expand...

Otherwise its possible that the priming sugar wasnt evenly mixed in before you bottled. Click to expand...

Or when the bottles were conditioning for 3 weeks it was in a cold place and hasnt fully carbonated. Click to expand...

Well, from the get go I see you broke a very basic general guideline/rule...you brewed something you never sampled before...how do you know something's wrong? You don't. You just assume it is. Could be you made a very decent brew. Click to expand...

What's the OG and FG? Click to expand...

How did you prime the bottles, how much sugar did you use, and importantly because it's a common mistake, how well did you mix the priming sugar into the beer when you bottled? (If you open bottles and they have varying carbonation, this is the most likely cause). Click to expand...

Thanks for the quick replies, I have answered your questions below. Also, a note. I used a kit for this batch.mr_stimey:Possible, but I have had various commercial beers, as well as my last batch of HB in my fridge before and they all seemed ok.Again, possible... but the way I mixed it was I disolved the sugar (I can't remember how much it was, it was in the ziploc bag I got from the HB store) into some warm water and poured it into my carboy. I tried mixing it, but since I couldn't do it very well with the little hole in the top of the carboy, I siphoned it into my bucket, then bottled from there. I figured the siphoning would throughly mix the sugar.The bottles were conditioned at room temp (about 78 degrees) for the full 3 weeks in my kitchen.homebrewer_99:And I have considered that possibility. The reason I am thinking something is wrong is just because of the lack of carbonation and foam. I would not be a bit surprised if my beer is supposed to taste exactly as it does.I had this written down, but after I got it bottled, I deleted it (I probably should just keep complete records of all my brews just in case). All I remember is that my final alcohol content was going to be somewhere around 4.6McKBrew:I have, as of the posting of this reply, opened 4 bottles. They seem to all have the same size "pop".... weak.
