Little to no carbonation

[jacobitti]

i brewed a Holiday beer that took quite a long time to begin fermentation but got going and ended up at around 1.012FG. 5gal batch good flavor, bottled with 5oz of sugar about 2 weeks ago. I have basically zero "0" carbonation. Bottles sat at 70 degrees for the entire 2 weeks. I even had 2 bottles sit in the boiler oom at 78 degrees and those are also both zero carb. Can I save this somehow?

Carbonation will take more than two weeks for most beers. As alcohol content increases carbonation time increases with the increased toxicity on the yeast from the alcohol. Some CO2 may begin filling the head space but not developing the pressure yet to force the CO2 into solution. In another week chill one beer for two days to check again for any improvement.
