Still not Carbonated?

Hi all,

A few weeks back I brewed an English Brown Ale. I let is sit in primary for a few weeks and cold crashed for nearly a week then I bottled and used carbonation drops as priming sugar. However, I put a beer in the fridge at 2 weeks in the bottle and let is sit in the fridge for 2 days before drinking and it hardly has any carbonation. I have an IPA that underwent the exact same schedule and it is plenty carbonated. Any ideas why?
Thanks

Different yeast can behave very differently. Give it some more time, most people say three weeks is a minimum for bottle conditioning.

I've had some brews take 8-12 weeks to fully carb up. Give it couple more weeks. Your patience will be rewarded.

Cheers!!

Different yeasts and different recipes can have very different schedules. That being said, three weeks @ 70 degrees F is the baseline for typical beers. Higher gravities and cooler temps can make it take longer.

I just opened my first bottle of Belgian golden strong that's been in bottle for four weeks at 70-72 degrees. I got a nice "pffft" when I uncapped it, but just a very thin layer of foam that melted off almost immediately. Beer was a bit sweeter than expected - but since it's still pretty flat, that makes sense (still some priming sugar left).

Seeing as how this is an 8.5% ABV beer, I'm not too surprised. I'll give it another 2-4 weeks and try again. If it's still not carbed, I'll wait longer.
