I added yeast to bottle three days ago. Im getting eager to try again. I've had other batches around 6% abv fully card after 4 days.... how soon is too soon to open another?

The not re-hydrated yeast seems to be creating a little bit more residue in the bottles. Good sign? I sprinkeld it in 3 days ago. Beers been in bottles for 8 weeks. Any one have experience adding yeast to bottles. How long do the take to carb up?

Does any one here regularly pitch additional yeast at bottling time?

So I un capped and added 1.5 sprinkles to the 42 bottles left. I ended up with approximately 1/5 of the package left. I definitely shook the bottles up. Hopefully all works out....

I have neither, just did a good job of forgetting about it... I got more yeast and caps today. How much yeast should I "sprinkle" in? Spread to whole package through all of the bottles?

Unfortunately it's still pretty flat. There is a slight hiss when a bottle is opened but no carbonation upon drinking it. I definitely added enough priming sugar so I think my next step is to open bottles and add some dry yeast granules. Any suggestions on how to proceed?

Are you suggesting opening up bottles to add yeast? There is a slight hiss when I open them. Should another month or two do the trick?

OG was 1.092 and FG was 1.018. ABV was about 9.5. I used 5 oz. Dextrose but since I had 5.5 gallons going into the fermentor I added a tbsp sucrose to the priming solution.

I've had it in the bottle foar 5 weeks. .. tasted one at 2 weeks and was flat.... another at 4 weeks and it w as flat. I have the bottles in my garage at 85 degrees or just higher.... will that encourage carbonation???

I don't have a secondary. I have a sizeable yeast cake at the bottom. At what point do I worry about autolysis? There is little to no bubbling. I was planning on taking FG reading in the next couple days and bottling on Thursday or Friday. That'd be 12-13 days after pitching yeast.

When too much sugar is used can a short or long fermentation length minimize off flavors?

Thanks for the insight. We'll see how it goes.

Having heard the consensus opinion on sugar. What can I expect?

Assuming my competency the OG I measured was 1.092.

Simcoe and Fuggle. ... not single giggles...
