No fizz, what to do?

[PintofPride]

Hi everyone,

I tried a bottle of my conditioning brew last night. It had been a week since I bottled, using 84g of DME for 19.5L batch. there was very little fizz indeed. I have already left the bottles outside for a night now, so if I leave them out will they continue to get more carbonated or is it too cold for the yeast (hovering around 10C)? If it is too cold will the yeast reactivate when the bottles are put back inside? basically what should I do?!

Cheers

it will reactivate yeah, you need to leave them at room temp for a few weeks when you add priming sugar.

Great thanks! I'll move them in then. I read on numerous sites that a week at room temp would do but clearly not and also using DME slows it down.
