Which yeast was it? Or was it all three? I got fed up with bottle carbing because it was so inconsistent. What temperature was the beer at when it was conditioning?
I also found that serving the beer at a higher temperature (ie 50F versus 37F) seemed to make them more carbonated. I ran a few bottles under hot water for 30 seconds then poured them. A beer that when served cold had almost no head and little carbonation, became a beer with a nice foamy head and plenty of carbonation. You might want to try that for shits and giggles. I heard that technique on one of Jamil's podcasts.
Was the one that you most recently had more carbonated than the first? You may want to roust the sediment up a couple times a day and see if that helps. I wouldn't try to reprime or add yeast at this point.
A very unlikely answer could be that your caps aren't air tight.Just ski down there and jump of a somethin' fer cryin' out loud!

I'd have to check but pretty sure i used 2 packs of S-05. i'd guess the beer was between 55-65 when it was conditioning. moved to a warmer area after reading it might help. been twisting the bottles now and then as you mentioned to roust the sediment. i wanna say the most recent bottle i had was a bit more carbonated than the others but no real head to speak of.
i'd be surprised if the caps weren't air tight as sicne then i bottled another batch and the first (and only) one i've had so far was carbonated.
i think the next one i try i'll just have at room temp. it's a strong sipper so no big deal if it's on the warm side (or less carbonated for that matter).

One Step Cleanser
Quick question, do other folks use it? Does it suffice as a sanitizer during the brewing process? Thanks

+1 for Star San.
I never used One-Step, but I haven't heard anything bad about it (most of my friends use Star San, too, but used other stuff early on). I also don't think it's officially certified as a sanitizer, even though it seems there's a lot of people using it successfully as such. If you've already got it, use it, but if you don't, buy Star San instead.

Got a yeast starter in the fridge for 10 gallons of Maerzen (ok, a little late) for my big O'fest party in September. It will be followed by 10 gallons of helles or pils, 10 gallons of hefeweizen, and 10 gallons of dunkel or schwarzbier, plus whatever else seems to belong. My brewing season has commenced!

Bottling my 5 gal of amber cider tonight, then brewing an imperial cream stout ish beer. stoked.
oh ya if you get a chance pick up randy moshers "radical brewing". great book, well written, tons of recipes and alot of history on beer around the world.
We've won it. It's going to get better now. You can sort of tell these things.
