What bottles are you using, 1 tsp to what volume?

sorry plastic bottles screw tops

I use half a tsp to the pint / 500ml for ales, and the recommendation seems to be to use slightly more for lagers, but even so, I would have thought you should have some fizz after 10 days. Were they kept in the warm for the first few days after bottling?
