0 carb in my beers

[te3b0r]

I made a ESB and a Nut Brown ale and didnt use enough dextrose so they have 0 carb now. They have been sitting at 70 degrees for 2 months and no progress has happened. Can I open them and try to either a) add some more dextrose or b) add more yeast?

Sure. Add sugar, not yeast, and watch your sanitation of course!

I would pick up some carb tabs. That would probably be your best bet at this point.

+1 to carb tabs- easier to make sure you get even priming

+1 to the above I use Coopers Crab Drops. I would give it a try. I would sanatize tweezers and use them to put the drops in.

For a minute I thought you had brewed the ultimate diet beer, not a flat one.

Thanks for the advice. I thought I could add sugar tabs just wasn't 100% sure. Last time I measure using Mr Beer instructions and drinking at the same time and glad it was my last 2 Mr Beer kits!

Careful, though - you might just have uneven carbonation. Some may be flat ad others may be highly carbed. Try pulling a bottle from the back of the shelf and see if it has any carbonation. If you put a carb tab into beer that is already carbonated, you'll have a fountain on your hands.
