Just cracked open and tried first batch of home brew after it sitting for 2 weeks. Some bottles carbonated well others not at all.. And taste very flat ? What Can I do to avoid this next time.
 
this is a very-often-asked question. what fg is this beer, what temp is the room it's in, how much sugar did you use? the bigger the beer, the longer it takes to carb. 2 weeks is usually enough for a lighter-grav beer. heavier beers can take 4-5 weeks
 
I have never had this issue but if some bottles are and some are not then the first thing that comes to my mind is that youre not mixing the sugar mixture properly. When I bottle I add the mixture about a Gallon into syphoning then add the mix. After I stir it with a sanitized long spoon.
