So, I've come to the conclusion that the RIS I bottled two months ago is not going to properly bottle condition. I think the beer didn't properly mix with the sugar/water syrup I made. The last few I bottled are significantly over carbonated but most of the other bottles barely have any fizz. The second half of the batch that I added bourbon soaked oak chips to and bottled a few weeks later is properly carbonated, so I'm sure it's not a question of patience.
I have a case of perfectly good RIS, with exceptionally low carbonation (no real head even if I pour it very aggressively). What would you guys do? Leave as is? Attempt to uncap, add sugar in some form and recap? If so, what type of sugar, syrup from a pipette, carb tabs something else?
