Can anyone tell me how long i can expect it to take to carbonate after fermenting for 2 weeks.I put down a Coopers Bitter ,used Coopers dextrose and thermostatically set immersion heater 24 DEG.O.G was @1038 and F.G.1007.I used a measured dose of white sugar for each bottle .I tried a bottle after 6 days but had virtually no carbonation.Previously i brewed a Coopers Real Ale for 5 days,at a higher temperature (during the last hot spell namely 30 deg plus),didnt take any s,g, readings,and it was well carbonated and reasonable to drink after 7 days. N.B. I carbonation drops for the previous brew.

Patience, patience.

Every batch is different, and some just take longer to carbonate than others.
6 days is not very long.

Leave your brew for 3 or 4 weeks, at ambient temperature of 20 to 25ºC (not difficult at this time of year) and you should be right.

I brewed an Ag dunkelweizenbock back in Nov 2008, and it took the better part of 2 to 3 months to carb up properly.

Thanx warra for the advice, it is much appreciated.Could do with all the information i could get at the moment,being only a novice.
