Hi All,
Fermented beer as per usual.
Racked for a few days.
Then transferred the approx 22 litres to cask, adding 85g sugar boiled in water. All good.
The date of transfer to cask was July 22nd.
The date last night was August 24th, i.e. 35 days later.
As of last night it was still not fizzy!! (although tastes divine)
The cap appears to be tight as poss.
I've never had one take this long to get fizzy. Usually use bottles and 3 weeks is enough.
Has this happened to people before? What was the problem? How long before i know it definitely aint getting fizzy?
I need it to be fizzy in time for Sept 17th as I am making it for a friend's wedding!
btw using Safale So5 yeast - usually acts fast!
Thanks for your help.
